Correction.. The aircraft tailplane photo that you're refering to is not called Galaxy..

It's the C-17 Globemaster III.. Galaxy is a much older transporter, full designation name is C-5 Galaxy.. The USAF Thunderbirds team uses the C-17 Globemaster as logistics transport, not the C-5 Galaxy..

Please refer to the following resources..

Source of C-17 Globemaster III:

Source of C-5 Galaxy:

thx for the info nod.gif
i was confused with the Galaxy & Globemaster too
coz many books & articles messed up the names too, lol
i went for the name "Galaxy" coz thats what an article online about the airshow says doh.gif
shud have googled it instead, silly me sweat.gif
anyway, both planes do look highly similar right?
which is bigger actually? hmm.gif
