Description:
An evening departure from Dover AFB, Delaware, brings an early sunrise for the crew of this C-5B as the crew faces the blinding sun in the cockpit as it rises rapidly above the horizon. The artist has always been surprised at how quickly dawn comes when flying east after a night departure from the East coast toward Europe. The C-5 carries huge loads in its cargo compartment while able to carry more than 80 passengers on the upper deck aft of the wing.
