Aero Spacelines Super Guppy (N941NA)

Great Pic Ryan!

Super Shot Ryan.............
Looks like a really nice pass by the Super Guppy.

Probably a prequel to the Beluga in Europe.

Fantastic photo, but how does this thing FLY?

David, not very fast. But it has been a good work horse for NASA.

Great pic! Looks like a Beluga!

Interesting…..reminds me of the old sci-fi movies of the outer space beings in the 1950’s and 1960’s movies with large heads.

there was just an episode on MIGHTY PLANE on Smithsonian channel were this incredible bird flew large rocket parts across country. it was really educational

Strange looking. What will it be used for?

Flipper in heaven !

The original Guppies had reciprocating engines!! These my friends are turboprops with much more power. It’s an impressive monster at any level!!

So cool!

Used for outsized loads. NASA could transport a stage-3 of a Saturn V rocket in it and NASA continues to move outsized space exploration components. There is one down the street from me at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson Arizona.

One thing is certain though, this never gets used in any kind of high cross-wind situation.
