Watched that rara avis -- a C5 Galaxy -- climb out of Westover in Massachusetts a few days ago.

The utility of an airplane is what matters. Carrying people is pretty low value. There's no end to their numbers. But carrying particular goods or equipment is how to determine value.

The 1973 airlift into Israel is case in point.

Time to carry goods. All else is secondary.
