A flight deck from a salvaged C-5 transport was transferred — on another C-5 — to Robins AFB, Georgia, on 22 August to become a software laboratory. The C-5 flight deck replaces a C-141 cockpit currently used in the laboratory. Once installed, this C-5 flight deck will allow future Galaxy avionics software upgrades to be tested economically on the ground before being tested in flight.
