There are 52 C-5M (M for modernized version of the traditional C-5) in the fleet stationed at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware; Travis AFB, California; Lackland, Texas AFB; and Westover Air Reserve Base, Massachusetts.
In addition to the Galaxy, another novelty that will be present at the Airshow will be the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) weapons system. A weapon used by the US Army used as a Ballistic Missile Defense System and is highly effective in protecting the armed forces.
“Lockheed Martin is proud to sponsor the first space and air show held in the Orlando over a quarter of a century”, said mike rein , organizer of the LMSAS. “The Thunderbirds are led by Lieutenant Colonel John caldwell , natural from Orlando , who is flying in his hometown. It is also a rarity to have a THAAD launcher appear in a public space and air show. It will be a spectacular event!”
The Thunderbirds, a USAF demonstration squadron with 6 F-16 fighters, will also be present at next year's event, thus showing the skill of the USAF pilots and the capacity of the equipment, since the F-16 is manufactured of Lockheed Martin having a great consecration inside and outside the USA.
