Default Landing a C5 Galaxy in Central Park

Ok, it's a C5X and is radically different from the C5 Gal from the 60s.
This is a stretched version of the C5 with X modified Pratt high bypass
turbofans having a very low sound signature(hear the fan and first
stage low pressure compressor screaming in the video of the old C5?
Sounds like a buzz saw flying around) and tons of thrust.

Also, the plane is totally composite except for primary load
structures and it has radar cloaking capability making it a truly ghost
transport. Which comes in handy when those American and Russian
military platforms in orbit lock on the C5Xs when they approach the
Hudson Bay area.

Secondly, the story is shaping up like "Top Gun" with C5 transports.
