    Note the C-5B Pylon sign.

    This person appears to wearing a "H-53 Stallion" shirt. Their name tag is not readable at 800 pixels.

    Per the South Bay Historical Society timeline, a C-5 contract commenced at Foley in 1986. This series has been tagged Foley based on that timeline.

    The smiles suggest this test team met their goal or schedule deadline. Note the pocket protectors and that there are no smartphones. Hand-carried phones didn't exist, had poor coverage, or were expensive. In higher resolution photos, some of the team nametags may be readable.

    After some head scratching, I believe this is probably a structural test for some kind of engine pylon. This would be a tough test to design because the pylon doesn't just support the static load of the engine hanging off the wing. It also must support tens-of-thousands of foot pounds of maximum forward trust and reverse thrust.
