It was during the air traffic controllers strike. President Regan was rebuilding American pride in our country and military. During the airshow I walked inside a massive C5A Galaxy, the immense size of the aircraft was etched in my mind. I graduated in 1984 and enrolled in Texas Aero Tech, located at Dallas Love field. Upon graduation in September of 1985, Lockheed Georgia company came to our school. They offered a month long sheet metal training course, upon successful completion, To my surprise they said I would be working on C5A Galaxy, the same plane I walked through four years earlier at the Cleveland airshow. In November of 1985 I started at Lockheed Georgia company. I have worked on many different types of aircraft in the last 40 years but the C5A and C5B Galaxy  is where it all started.
