Seems in the news, a USAF C-5 Galaxy was hit by a unkown missile over
Baghdad, it then landed due to USAF reasons "was a excessive noise
vibrations in a engine" - no mention of missile at all when first
published.


I wonder how noticeable a MANPADS hit on a C-5 engine would be,
anyway? Do you think it'd be instantly recognized as such or
initially just "engine trouble" on par with losing a few fan blades?
