NASA Super Guppy in my area

Post by Dave16hc » Wed Sep 30, 2020 3:15 am

Hi all,

Had the opportunity to see the Super Guppy land at Moffett Field today. This has always been a favorite plane of mine, so I was super happy to see it in action for the first time. Enjoy!

This is one of my few remaining "bucket list" aircraft. Nice catch!

Apparently it was at Cherry Point the week before I moved here. Was kinda ticked that I missed it.

Wow! This is lucky! Super Guppy is a very important part of the development of the space industry! Thanks to this peculiar, but very charismatic aircraft that large cargoes are delivered for the ISS. It's great that you were able to look at such an important thing. Moreover, there was only one left. Of 5
