USAF Reserve Command C-5 Galaxy Patch — United States Air Force Reserve C-5 Galaxy Strategic Airlift Embroidered Patch
The biggest bird in the Air Force Reserve.
The USAF Reserve Command C-5 Galaxy patch represents the Air Force Reserve units that operate the massive Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, one of the largest military transport aircraft in the world. The C-5's cavernous cargo hold can carry virtually any piece of military equipment — from tanks and helicopters to missile systems and humanitarian supplies — making it the backbone of America's strategic airlift capability.
The C-5 Galaxy is a truly enormous aircraft, with a wingspan of over 222 feet and a cargo compartment that stretches 121 feet long. Air Force Reserve C-5 crews maintain the same proficiency standards as their active-duty counterparts, ready to be called upon for strategic airlift missions that span the globe. Reserve C-5 crews bring a unique blend of civilian aviation experience (many fly for commercial airlines) and military tactical expertise that makes them invaluable when activated. The Galaxy can deliver outsized cargo to austere airfields around the world, opening its distinctive visor nose and aft cargo doors to load and unload equipment that no other aircraft can carry.
This patch represents the Reserve's strategic airlift capability.
Perfect For: USAF Reserve C-5 Galaxy crews, strategic airlift personnel, Air Force Reserve Command members, and heavy airlift patch collectors.
Reserve Galaxy power — C-5.
