Cue the jokes about the C-5 always breaking in great locations.

Well. at least that's an improvement.  In my day (granted, that was a few decades ago), they broke everywhere they went.  The joke then was that they always flew in formation...C-5 lead, C-141 wingman carrying spare parts.

They're going to need a bigger jack. 

There is a reason the C-5's have permanently mounted nose jack pads.

Wow. Able to slow it down substantially with the nose up. I think the 135 would just fall apart

The 135 has landed with the nose gear retracted twice without any major damage.

It is entirely different if a 135 hits a bunch of cows with the nose gear on a touch and go.
