Open Wide!


The nose cargo door of the gigantic Lockheed C-5A "Galaxy" opens wide with the cargo loading ramp extended. The ramp looks like a tongue swallowing up those checking out the interior of the largest American-built aircraft. It belongs to the US Air Force Reserve's 337th Airlift Squadron "Patriots" based at Westover Joint Air Reserve Base, MA. On the tail band, they have the helmet logo of the New England Patriots football team.

Today's photo was taken during the 2007 Blues On The Bay airshow, and in the background, an aerobatic aircraft performs its stunts.

That's the perfect title for today's photo! That airplane is huge! It is cool to see the acrobatics in the sky too.
