    General Electric TF39 high-bypass turbofan (TF-39-GE-1C) in its cowling. The TF39 was unique in having a "T-Stage" fan and "snubbered" first stage fan blades. It was also unique in that it only powered the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy (although it did provide the basis for the commercial GE CF6 high-bypass turbofan). Given the 1985 timeframe, it is almost certain that this engine was destined for a then-new production C-5B Galaxy, after C-5 production was restarted during the Reagan Administration.

    We see drums in the cargo hold. I know very little about aviation but it always impressed me that C-5s had drums of military specification hydraulic fluid in the cargo hold. They had to top off the hydraulic systems because of leaks. When I asked a (rightly-proud) C-5 crew member about the drums, he asked what I would expect from an airframe with miles of hydraulic lines.
