Richard Neal tells <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masslive.com\/news\/2020\/12\/construction-of-426m-hangar-at-chicopees-westover-air-reserve-base-slated-to-start-in-spring.html\" target=_blank>Masslive.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2006, the base in Chicopee was selected as one of three bases that would conduct regular examinations and maintenance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/2017\/09\/05\/the-air-force-repaired-more-than-half-its-c-5s-after-a-stand-down-this-summer\/\" target=_blank>the entire C-5 fleet<\/a>. But the base never had a hangar that could fit the entire plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2018\/08\/12\/c-5m-super-galaxy-fleet-will-fly-well-into-2040s\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/C-5M_Dover_web.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">C-5M Super Galaxy fleet will fly well into 2040s<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Lockheed Martin finishing Air Force upgrade to the C-5M Super Galaxy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military cargo jet is nearly as tall as a seven-story building and its wingspan measures almost 223 feet (68 meters) feet. At 247 feet (75 meters) long, the tail of the jet always stuck out the back, and even though Westover eventually added a hangar door that closes around the tail, it was never considered ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Construction is expected to take about 18 months. When it is finished, the new hangar will offer state-of-the-art systems that will make it easier for the maintenance crews to do their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With about 5,500 military and civilian workers, Westover is the city\u2019s largest employer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The military cargo jet is nearly as tall as a seven-story
