- "A C5 Galaxy is a transport aircraft, one of the largest in the world."
- ―Jonathan J. O'Neill[src]
The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a large military transport aircraft originally designed and built by Lockheed, and now maintained and upgraded by its successor, Lockheed Martin. It provides the United States Air Force (USAF) with a heavy intercontinental-range strategic airlift capability, one that can carry outsize and oversize loads, including all air-certifiable cargo.
History[]
Colonel Jack O'Neill is knowledgeable about these aircraft. (SG1: "Secrets")
A C-5 Galaxy can carry a Stargate in its cargo hold. One of these planes has been requested to pick up the Beta Gate (stolen from Area 51 for rogue NID operations) from an air base in Utah. During the SG-1's operation to locate the gate and retrieve the Touchstone (also stolen by rogue NID agents from Madrona), the C-5 had made a landing. (SG1: "Touchstone")
