C-5 on approach to KADW?

Whatever plane it was that flew over departing Andrews last Thursday,
another one of them (or the same one) just flew south over Alexandria on
what I take to be an approach route to KADW, at 3:35 p.m EDT. I had noted
how much it resembled a C-141. By the time I got outside, it was pretty
far away, but it was definitely not a C-17. I saw a C-17 departing KADW
earlier this morning, so that plane is fresh in my memory. The sounds,
too, are not at all alike.

If you're listening and can get a tail number, I'd like to hear about it.
He should be landing just as I hit "send, at 3:42 p.m. EDT.

Thanks.
