Athanasios, this is a nice photo, but just so you know, a US military aircraft will not have an "N" prefix in its registration/serial number. And the number you see on the tail is not always the complete military serial number. The "N" prefix is just for civilian aircraft. Per Joe Baugher's website, this aircraft appears to be:

Lockheed C-5B Galaxy, SN: 86-0013, AMP (Avionics Modernization Program) modified at Dover AFB, and RERP (Re-Engine and Reliability Program) mod at Lockheed-Georgia. AT RERP, estimated first flight Feb 6, 2006. Converted to C-5M (conversion #1) following completion of AMP and RERP. First fully upgraded C-5M rolled out at Lockheed Marietta May 16, 2006. First flight as C-5M made Jun 19, 2006. Returned to service Feb 27, 2009.

So, if you replace the N60013 with 860013 in the Registration/Tail# box and save it, then it should appear correctly. Thanks for the photo and good luck!

Hi Greg. The N has been added by flightaware automatically. I changed the registration to 86-0013. Thank you.

You're welcome! I just wasn't sure if you knew about US military aircraft registrations. And it seems like FA adds the "N" automatically sometimes, but there are times when I have to add it myself. So, who knows? Anyway, thanks again for the pic! ;-)
