THE 24TH FULLY-MODERNIZED C-5M 'Super Galaxy' for Air Mobility Command (AMC) arrived at Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, New York, from Lockheed Martin's facility in Marietta, Georgia, when serial 86-0022 touched down on February 12, 2015. Once the New York ANG's 105th Airlift Wing (AW) completes the internal paint restoration process, the aircraft will be delivered to the 60th Air Mobility Wing (AMW) at Travis AFB, California. The wing's 22nd Airlift Squadron (AS) - which received its first Super Galaxy on May 14, 2014, when serial 87-0042 arrived - is the second of two active-duty and two Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) squadrons that will share a fleet of 52 upgraded Galaxies. In addition, two AFRC associate organizations will share the responsibility for flying and maintaining those C-5Ms assigned to the active-duty wings.
