5 Minute Weathering Technique Using a highlighter and chalks

[Herc Driver]

Wow...that's way heavier than the max load on a C-5B. We could block out at 772,000 lbs and take off at 769,000. (Yes...we'd burn 3000 pounds of fuel starting up and taxiing out for take off.) With the new engines and wing box strengthening, I think it can lift more now. So I think that estimate from the mid 90's I got was a bit off, or maybe he gave me the number on how much coal (minus the car) weighed.

Thanks for the number! That's a lot of weight. Amazing an engine can pull a string of those cars...
