McKinley Climatic Laboratory
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- The C-5M Super Galaxy undergoes extreme heat and ultraviolet exposure during the Re-engining and Reliability Program at the McKinley Climactic Laboratory here Oct. 21 through Nov. 17. The aircraft, on loan from Air Mobility Command's Dover AFB, has to be carefully loaded inside the hangar because the tail is taller than some of the laboratory steel piping. Crew had to lower the tail-end of the airplane within inches of touching the ground and jacked up the front-end in order to get the right leverage. Because the airplane's size, the solar panels had to be constructed after the C-5 was loaded rather than have everything pre-constructed. (Photo by Greg Murry)
