Super cool to hear about the legend Clay Lacy and his career he’s done so much for Aviation… every time I fly into the Clay Lacy FBO for work at Vannuys it’s the best, they treat all there customers in Aviation like aviators, wether you fly in a Cessna 150 or in a citation CJ3 they understand the passion of aviation and what there founder has done and that transcends into there passion of there employees to the way they operate.
@tiadaid It delivered the airframes from factories in Germany, Spain, France and the United Kingdom to the Airbus Final Assembly Hall in Toulouse, the Super Guppy is preserved on display outside the Airbus Headquarters at Toulouse Blagnac Airport in France.
Having seen one of these on display in Europe, I can definitely say that it's amazing to see it compared to the A337 Beluga that frequents my local airport.
Antonov isn't Russian. It's Ukrainian Aircraft manufacturer. Russia flies Antonovs, but the company is, and always have been Ukrainian. Also, If you want, Soviet... but not Russian. As educational institute, the facts should be correct.
The unlikely story of the original super cargo transport aircraft that helped America win the space race. Drop your Guppy questions/knowledge!
I would see SG many times when I was at Ellington....until you see it in person you cannot comprehend its size
I work on Artemis and got to coordinate a lift with the Super Guppy team earlier this year! Totally awesome folks who work on an incredible airplane.

The Super Guppy was also used by Airbus in the early years of the European aircraft maker before the Beluga was built.
Indeed, back then every Airbus were delivered on the wings of a Boeing!

Such a cool aircraft
No hydraulic boosted flight controls is crazy for a plane that size
Curious what the turbo- prop engines were rated at ( shp), as well as what was the usable storage space??
Obviously made before the AN225 was blown up.
I saw it in El Paso last week!
I'm a simple being; I see a 26-minute long documentary on the Supper Guppy, I click...

7:15 it’s cool to hear more about Von Braun’s contributions to aerospace after his absorption by the US lol
If interested read a Bio of Braun. His life might not be what you think
Well, no, we don't have the 225
yeah, but the blueprints survive. 124 is a good platform too. just slap two extra engines and stretch the fuselage, and you are good :D

This woman sounds like she is talking to pre-schoolers
