USAF C-5M Super Galaxy Patch — Strategic Airlift Embroidered Patch
Deliver the impossible — the backbone of America's global airlift mission.
The C-5M Super Galaxy is the largest aircraft in the United States Air Force inventory and one of the most massive military transport aircraft ever built. Originally introduced as the C-5A Galaxy in 1970, the airframe has undergone extensive modernization to become the C-5M variant, featuring new General Electric CF6-80C2 engines, upgraded avionics, and improved reliability that has transformed this strategic airlifter into a 21st-century workhorse.
Capable of carrying over 270,000 pounds of cargo — including tanks, helicopters, and oversized equipment — the C-5M Super Galaxy is the cornerstone of the Air Force's strategic airlift capability. It can fly intercontinental distances and deliver outsize cargo to airfields around the world, supporting everything from combat operations and humanitarian relief to space launch vehicle transport. Units operating the C-5M, including squadrons at Dover AFB, Travis AFB, and Lackland AFB, have been at the forefront of every major American military operation for over five decades.
Perfect For: USAF airlift veterans, C-5 Galaxy crew members and maintainers, strategic mobility enthusiasts, and aviation patch collectors who respect the sheer scale of global airlift power.
Go big or go home — the Super Galaxy delivers.
