Hi George,

As an ex aeronuatical engineer, I wanted more time to see each shot - keyboard control is not the same. Also as an ex aeronautical engineer, I don't see how the Super Guppy ever got off the ground! Great shots.

George,

Very nice presentation. I was also very fascinated with the Super Guppy. Would love to know how much it weighs and how

it can ever lift off the ground, especially if it has cargo on board.

Thank you for sharing what looked like an excellent days outing.

Colin & Mick,

Here is a link with a little info on the Super Guppy.

By the way, the Guppy is home based in El Paso.

It is away on its duties most tof the time.

Thanks Ken and George for the links. When I was working on Wing Area x coefficient of lift = All up weight, the figures were nothing like those for the Super Guppy, mind you that was 48 years ago but I still find it amazing that they can get so much lift from so (relatively) small wings.
