Most C-5s are being upgraded to this standard:

New cockpits and modern avionics, new engines
for 30% shorter T/O and 38% better rate of climb.
Somewhat heavier max payload, too....

Looking for these to last 40 more years (!)

Nice, but does it sound like a Galaxy?

Probably not..........

I would expect it's now quieter, but as
the guy says in the Herc clip, quieter is
better from an operational standpoint....
