Lockheed Warned of C-5A Structural Danger Gap
Lockheed-Georgia warned the Air Force of a potential weakness in the C-5A engine mounting that could fail. The Sept. 29 Altus Okla. incident grounded seven C-5s as an engine fell from a wing. Lockheed noted the aft pylon mount was problematic and an engineering change was proposed. The Shreveport ship faced criticism for inefficiency and safety flaws during trials.
