Aero Spacelines Super Guppy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The one above is owned and operated by NASA, and is based at their flight operations facility in El Paso, TX. I talked my way into the place last Thursday for a tour. It was really fascinating. The fascility is basically where all the astronaut's flight training is done.
Here's the rest of the images from the day's tour:

Also, I was looking at picking up [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007GQLU/ref=s9_simh_bw_p23_d0_i5?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_ rd_s=gp-center-3&pf_rd_r=18M2F1VG2FWFX9QNBTNH&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p =1289760502&pf_rd_i=502394"]this lens[/ame] and wanted to know if any of you had had any experience with it.
