Oh, I know the size and noise of the C-5. They're overhead all the time -- one tip that something is going on in the world is that the military transport comings and goings ramp up dramatically.

The first time a C-5 went over (at an illegally-low altitude, my guess would be), my then-puppy Shadow was in the backyard absolutely hugged the ground!
