EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. – The C-5M Super Galaxy undergoes extreme heat and ultraviolet exposure during the Re-engining and Reliability Program at the McKinley Climactic Laboratory Oct. 21 through Nov. 17. Some of the unique challenges the laboratory crew faced was getting the C-5M inside the hangar. Another deviation from normal loading procedures was building the solar panels after the aircraft was loaded. This require special crews and crane systems to mount more than 90 solar panels to accurately simulate solar radiation during the extreme heat segment of the testing. (Photo by Wendell Rowan)
