Man you have a good eye with the camera,some of those shot were great.Thanks for uploading this,I love it.I subbed pls sub back.Cheers and thanks again.
Just saw one taking off out of PHL this very afternoon! Probably carrying another cargo from Boeing (another V-22 fuselage?). Such a bizzare aircraft.
Two months ago while driving I would swear I saw a Guppy leaving Fort Campbell in Kentucky. I see modern transports flying in and out of there routinely. And thats what I thought it was at first until I saw the profile..hard to mistake!!! I was on the highway, and slowed to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Clouds quickly covered it up. Does anyone know who's still operating these?
@CZrv4 My dad knows the men who flew it up there, they flew it a few times almost got destroyed well they were flying it. Airborne engine fire was the cause, the engines on that aircraft have high maintenance hours plus one of the wings got damaged in an wind storm so it's flying days are pretty much over the wing spar got damaged so not much you can do except get a new one but they don't make new parts on those makes a hell of a neat static tho. Hope that answer your question
@usmctate Oh thanks it makes me feel better that its sitting there because it almost beyond repair i understand that the Pratt & Whitney R 4360 radial engine need lots of maintenance and that a wing spar cost's a lot to replace but all i am saying is that it would be really cool to see it fly again. thanks for the reply. :P
By research, I found out this is was once a full fledged Stratocruiser. Hopefully with enough support and money, that hideous Guppy frame can be removed and replaced with Stratocruiser frames making it N1037V again!
How in the hell can that thing even get off the ground? You would think it would need ALOT more wingspan to lift that horribly un-aerodynamic fuselage. Just look at the Airbus the wingspan on that sucker is monstrous.

No disrespect but it looks like they were trying to build a blimp and accidently made an airplane. Nice plane though, good video detail.

It was modified for oversized cargo. It probably was not very fast. But it did the job it was meant for.
