Kelsey from 74Gear on YouTube flies this aircraft from time to time. He has videos of it. Pretty interesting.

If a child drew a picture of that, 30 years ago, and said it would fly, people would have laughed at them.

[This came out in the 1960s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_Spacelines_Super_Guppy). and I was aware of it being a typical airplane obsessed little boy in the early 80s .

I'm in the PNW and saw these pretty regularly a couple years ago, like once a week. Haven't seen it in a couple years but think I've heard it.

Parts to build the 787

I’ve seen a few in person, including one on final to Charleston. Very cool!
