The tires of a C-5M Galaxy’s main landing gear hang several inches off the ground as the aircraft rests on six fuselage jacks on Ramstein Air Base, Germany, May 3, 2017. Each jack can hold up to 60 tons, equaling 720,000 pounds, and a typical C-5 weighs 415,000 pounds. The aircraft was jacked to inspect and repair the number four main landing gear.
