I once watched a C-5 searching for bodies after a boating accident on
Great Bay. (It happened to be arriving at Pease air base just after
some racing shells discovered that they couldn't handle waves.) It was
SO BIG that it appeared to be motionless in the air: the eye simply
assumed that everything was happening nearby and in slow motion.

Last year at OSH the C-5 did some low approaches. The mind has a hard time
grasping the fact that something that big can fly, and it looks for all the
world as if it's standing still.

It's a remarkable machine.
