The Lockheed C-141 Starlifter was a strategic airlifter used by the United States Air Force from 1965 to 2006. Designed to rapidly transport troops, cargo, and medical evacuees over long distances, it featured a high-wing design, four turbofan engines, and a rear-loading ramp. The C-141 could carry up to 70,000 pounds of cargo or over 150 troops. Known for its speed, range, and reliability, it revolutionized air mobility during the Cold War and major conflicts like Vietnam and the Gulf War. The Starlifter was eventually replaced by the larger C-17 Globemaster III, but its legacy in military logistics endures.
