C-5 at LAX


It's particularly obvious in this picture, but this crew somehow managed to keep their Galaxy in the cloud shadow all the way down the taxiway and onto the runway - sneaky!

I think it's neat how the rear main landing gear can turn to help the plane get around corners

 
This is a horrible shot, but I include it to show how little runway the C-5 requires. None of our regular air carrier aircraft are anywhere close to being airborne at this point on Runway 24 Left. We're looking at Taxiway W under the C-5's nose and Taxiway E-10 just behind the tail; that's approximately 3,500 feet (1,100 meters) down the runway

Finally found a sunny spot!
