===C-5C=== The C-5C is a specially modified variant for transporting large cargo. Two C-5As (68-0213 and 68-0216) were modified following major accidents to have a larger internal cargo capacity to accommodate large payloads, such as satellites. The major modifications were the removal of the rear passenger compartment floor, splitting the rear cargo door in the middle, and installing a new movable aft bulkhead further to the rear.<ref name="Norton_p62">Norton 2003, pp. 62, 78.</ref> The official C-5 technical manual refers to the version as C-5A(SCM) ''Space Cargo Modified''. Modifications also included adding a second inlet for ground power, which can feed any power-dependent equipment that may form part of the cargo. The two C-5Cs are operated by U.S. Air Force crews for DOD spacecraft programs and [[NASA]], and are stationed at Travis AFB, California.
