In the late 80's (86-89) US Air Force C-5s would on an occasional basis depart from San Diego International Airport. I myself witnessed this atleast 3 times. I could never figure out why though. Best guess was that they were picking up or delivering something from/to Teledyne-Ryan, which had a plant adjacent to the runway. But whatever it was it would have to be big and not able to be moved easily via truck as San Diego has 2 military airfields within 15 miles of the airport.

This is atleast 10 years before Global Hawk was developed. Just curious if anyone here knows or has a better idea.


Thanks,
