During the Summer of 2020, a C-5M Super Galaxy got stripped for depot level maintenance in the refurbished Hanger-125 on Robins Air Force Base (AFB), Georgia.

The C-5M is the largest aircraft operated by the U.S. Air Force (USAF).
By mid-November the C-5M rolled out, but still a little more work needed before test-flight and new clothes.

In 2018, the World War Two era Hanger-125 underwent a $75-million renovation, supervised by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Building (hanger) 125 is capable of fully enclosing multiple large aircraft at the same time, for depot level tear-down.

Hanger-125 has four ‘docks’, which allows up to four C-5 type aircraft, or a whole bunch of smaller aircraft. Building/Hanger-125 takes-up 14.7 acres (5.9 hectares) of land.

Rebuilders can perform mass-depot level maintenance on several smaller aircraft at the same time, like these F-15s which just happen to be stripped down at the same time as our C-5M, in Summer 2020.
