The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy/C-5M Super Galaxy is the largest transport aircraft built for the United States Air Force, while the double-decked Airbus A380 is the largest passenger aircraft ever built. The C-5 Galaxy hails from a time when the Air Force thought progress and enhanced capacities meant progressively larger aircraft. However, after the Galaxy, the Air Force went on to procure the smaller C-17 Globemaster III and is now looking for an even smaller next-generation airlifter.

On April 3rd, Emirates reintroduced another Airbus A380 to service. The specific airframe was A6-EDF, which is about 19 years old and nearly double the average age of the carrier’s superjumbos. Its return to service saw an initial round-trip service between Dubai and Cairo. While it was the seventh A380 ever to be built, it was the sixth A380 delivered to the Gulf carrier; those that arrived sooner have since been retired or stored.
