Hi Gord
The C-5 was powered by four P & W Double Wasp R-2800 engines. The C-5's cabin was pressurized to 8,500 feet. The one and only C-5 was retired from service with the Royal Canadian Air Force on the 28th of August 1966. This after a $383,000.00 refurbishment which also included $40,000.00 to overhaul three spare engines. The aircraft was subsequently sold to an American for $49,000.00 bucks. The new American owner could not get FAA certification so he stripped the aircraft of any useful parts and sold the rest for scrap metal. Sound all too familiar Gord??? Cheers...Chris
