The C-17 really put on a great show, even without dropping anything.

C-17 Payload - 170,900 lbs Length - 174 feet Wingspan - 169 feet Height - 55 feet C-5 Payload - 270,000 lbs Length - 247 feet Wingspan - 222 feet Height - 65 feet Thanks for the measurements . I tried to google some with no luck . Seeing them tho at a distance of maybe 500 yards it's hard to tell the size difference unless they are side by side . I've taken images of both and got them somewhere but have to look them up on some CD i transfered them to .

You'll really be able to tell the difference if you ever get an opportunity to tour them. Canon XSi (450D) | Canon EF-S 18-55mm | Canon EF-S 55-250mm | YN-468 | PhotoShop Elements 5.0

Were you in the AF and one of the flight crew ?? I toured one at an air show back about 20 yrs ago and they told us that it took a crew of 12 to fly this monster and we got to see in the actual cockpit where 2 pilots sit and where the seats were for the rest of the crew to sit while taking off and landing . Thought it weird that the seats faced the rear of the plane . They told us why but i forgot why .
