One of the most impressive of sights around an airport is seeing the landing approach of one of the VLAs (VERY LARGE Airplanes).

When you're accustomed to watching "little" things like B52s, KC135s, and F105s going in and out regularly, the landing approach of a C5A coming in at around 135 kt looks like it's "hovering" - or moving at "blimp speed" at best - and on a normal landing approach a C5 makes less noise (at ground level) than the Goodyear "Blimp" hovering over the stadium.
