Bull Remembered

When I was only 5 or 6, my father took me to the edge of the Lockheed testing grounds in Marietta, GA, where we lived at the time. I remember watching the first test flights of the C-5A Galaxy, then the largest plane in the world.  I remember it clawing its way into the air, and how it filled the sky (it flew directly over us). The roar of its engines was deafining.

I can still remember this after 43 years.  This is the moment I developed my lifelong love of airplanes.
