C-5s have been famous for their talent at breaking down. I think they have the lowest mission-ready rate in the entire AF, beating even the B-2.
The Galaxy is also being used a LOT. There flat out arent many of them, and they're often deployed. A former roommate of mine joined up to be a Galaxy pilot...he's pretty much never home anymore. It doesnt surprise me the AF came up with a shortage of airlift capabillity.
