Shots Around the Sloop: Bomber Fly By

A reader writes:


Soldiers Field celebrated by lighting up the columns Red, White, and Blue and then on Sunday there was a flyover of a C5 Galaxy. If I’d been in Towers 1 or 2 I definitely would have been a little nervous with a plane that big buzzing by!

Um, C5 Galaxy is a transport/cargo aircraft, not a bomber...

Looks more like a smaller/stubbier C-17 than a C-5.

Anon 6:34 AM, yup I believe you are correct. Either way it isn't a bomber...
