Auto Credit Based on BaconEggs's Darn it Simpleplanes you did it again!

LEAP 5: Unloading. In the 1960's, the Cold War is in danger of getting hot. The U.S. airforce needs a plane that can carry vast quantities of military equipment to war zones far from home. As well as lifting heavy cargo, this plane has to unload it the most hostile territory. And that means cropping cargo by air. But opening a large cargo door midflight, is inherently dangerous. To solve this problem, engineers strengthen the body of the aircraft by adding a second sealed fuselage on top of the first. This creates a rigid backbone for the entire plane. Doors in the lower fuselage can now open safely, even in midflight.

Controls:
3 for main engines
4 for pushback
5 and vtol 3/4 up for nice surprises
1 unleashes a thing. (Must have 5 and vtol 3/4 up and in midflight)

    @Bakon do you remember that time when you said that your C-5 might dwarf my aircraft for the big,bigger,biggedt challenge? Yeah it dwarfs it in length, but mine is heavier.

    This is good, but after I saw not one, but 2 land at westover air reserve base; I was in west Springfield at the time, this seems a bit inaccurate, still good.
