Air Force C-5M Super Galaxy lands on nose after gear malfunction

The Air Force is investigating what caused the landing gear of an Air Force Reserve Command C-5M Super Galaxy to fail on Thursday.

The failure caused the C-5 to land on its nose, skidding about three-quarters of the way down the 11,500-foot runway at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, before coming to a stop, according Maj. Timothy Wade, a spokesman for the 433rd Airlift Wing.

There were 11 personnel on board, but no injuries were reported.
