Gen Brown Declares C 5 Galaxy World’s Most Productive Cargo Plane
General George S Brown, commander of the Air Force Systems Command, touted the C-5 Galaxy as the world’s most productive cargo aircraft. He contrasted its capabilities with the Berlin Airlift and older planes, noting the C-5’s ability to haul 43 ton units and massive equipment in a single flight, saving money and reducing the need for multiple airframes. Brown cited 150 deployment flights from Vietnam, delivering 10,700 tons across 8,000 to 10,000 miles, and argued the C-5 could have handled Berlin with far less infrastructure.
