The C-5A is the original version of the C-5. From 1969 to 1973, 81 C-5As were delivered to the Military Airlift Command of the U.S. Air Force. Due to cracks found in the wings in the mid-1970s, the cargo weight was restricted. To restore the C-5's full capability, the wing structure was redesigned. A program to install new strengthened wings on 77 C-5As was conducted from 1981 to 1987. The redesigned wing made use of a new [[aluminum alloy]] that did not exist during the original production.{{cn|date=February 2023}} As of August 2016, there were ten A-models in service flown by the Air Force Reserve Command's 433d Airlift Wing at Lackland AFB / Kelly Field, Texas, and 439th Airlift Wing at Westover ARB, Massachusetts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amarcexperience.com/ui/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5&catid=16&dbsource=typelist&dbtype=C005A&dbpage=1&dbletter=L|title=AMARC Experience – Search the Database|website=amarcexperience.com}}</ref> The last operational C-5A was retired on 7 September 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dvidshub.net/video/549245/last-c-5a-galaxy-arrives-amarg|title=Last C-5A Galaxy Arrives at AMARG|website=dvidshub.net}}</ref>
