When Bush's C-5 baggage mover flew into Lexington, I was surprised at the
combination of high bank angle and slow speed. I'm sure that the size of
the aircraft has an effect on the visual, but I looked up and just thought
is was going to fall out of the sky.

Agreed. It flew a very nice demonstration at OSH, and I was impressed by
the same thing. Also, it is one thing to be next to it on display, but it
changes your impression of size, when you are almost beside it, engine
running. On the taxiway, when a Ford Tri-motor taxies past it under the
C-5's wing, it also gives you another big idea of the huge proportions. The
Tri motor is not small, either!
