Mobility

An Air Force C5 from the Air Mobility Command in Dover Delaware flew up the North River on Thursday morning at a little more than 2,000 feet above the water. The photo doesn’t really capture how huge the plane looks at low altitude but it is nearly 3 times the size of the C130s we see more regularly on this route, closer in size to a 747 or A380 really, and though those civilian planes are larger on most dimensions, we don’t see them this low over the city. The C5 flew up the Hudson, made a left at Albany, looped around Rome, NY, and then headed back home to Dover.
