Lucky you! I'm jealous. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> We don't get very many interesting aircraft here; the highlights for me in recent years have been rare visits by A-10s en route to other destinations and the occasional landing of Air Force One.<br /><br />I like Guppies, and I'd love to see one. Heck, I'd even like to see one of Airbus's Belugas, which are being built from leftover Guppy/Connie bits that AeroSpaceLines has left over. Not quite as cool, but a lot weirder looking. <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /><br /><br />On another thread, I referred to Guppies as "Frankenconnies" and I thought I'd share that here as well. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> It's bizarrely appealing to me that they're built out of the components of retired (and in some cases nonfunctional) Lockheed Constellations. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em> -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
