Default c-5

this past weekend coming out of Worcester, MA a C-5 galaxy crossed about two miles ahead of us.. i was at 3,000, climbing for 5,000 and he was at 4200 according to ATC... the only problem was that i was in a warrior and he was most definitely heavy.. we crossed over his path about 400 feet above it.. thought i was out of it, but the updrafts from the wind (lots of chop that day) probably pushed it a few hundred feet in my direction, with my little PA28 kickin around like a rag doll.. not a good feeling at all
