Dottie and I were at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge photographing birds when this happened to fly over. The refuge is part of land acquired for Kennedy Space Center/Cape Canaveral. NASA use this plane to carry large rocket parts, very large it would appear. The plane has been nicknamed Super Guppy, I discovered by a quick internet search.
What an odd looking yet very cool looking plane. Thanks for sharing this fun image as well as the info.
Very nice picture! Amazing this thing can fly.
What kind of lens gets this effect or how its taken?
Hi Diane, thank you for viewing and commenting. I agree, amazing that it can fly. I happened to see a show on television about this plane, only a very few select pilots fly it. Very difficult to land and take off in cross winds.Quote:
