The C-5 Galaxy: 37% Ready and Flying Until 2050
Citat:On paper, the C-5 Galaxy is the most capable military transport aircraft ever built by the Western world. In practice, on any given day in 2025, 63 percent of the fleet is broken. That number — 37 percent mission capable — is not a rounding error or a statistical blip. It is a structural crisis, and the Air Force has now responded by kicking the problem thirty years down the road.

The service recently confirmed that the last C-5M Super Galaxy will not retire until FY2050. That is five years later than the previous plan, and it means the youngest aircraft in the fleet will be approximately 61 years old when it finally taxis off the active duty ramp for the last time. For perspective: the airframe first flew in 1968. A 61-year-old C-5 would be the aviation equivalent of a grandmother doing combat airlift sorties on Medicare.
