Actually that plane isn't as big as one may imagine when standing next to it. Of course I am next to planes all the time so a C-17 or C-5 is big.

Saw one of the last flights even after it's retirement at the EAA in Oshkosh few years back. It flew in formation with a KC-135, from near by ANG in Milwaukee and a B-2 bomber.

And yes it did a sonic boom run.
