Re: Airbus Beluga
That it would be, but still unique in its own right. Nice capture, but it looks a tad bit soft. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Airbus Beluga
Nice shot, but that is one ugly aircraft.

Re: Airbus Beluga
Wow, that thing flies? To paraphrase from classic literature, it looks like it's hanging in the air the same way that bricks don't.
Nice photo. I'd love to see one of these. |

Re: Airbus Beluga
Isn't that used for transporting parts of the A380?

yes, it's used for transporting aircraft wings to final assembly plant. Not the A380 though, the wings are too big. Those have to be transported by sea and road ! |

Re: Airbus Beluga
Hello Wullie;
Welcome to POTN... At first I thought this was an old shot... I was surprised to see a Beluga still in the "old" colours... I thought they had all been re-painted in current Airbus house-colours... but obviously not! Cheers; Lee

Re: Airbus Beluga
Nice shot! That would be the perfect space ship for the next Aliens movie.
