Some of you may know the plane since it's been around for a while. Luckily for me, it was at our center yesterday and today dropping off a test. Anyways here are a couple of shots. Unfortunately, I didn't get any from liftoff or landing.

What would a whale think when looking up and then that one flies by? :)

Incredible that it flies fully loaded.

One of these was at the PHX/Mesa Gateway airport the other day for fuel. I saw another one there about 6 months ago as well. Good capture.

They used to fly regularly over the UK from France to a place called Chester, they carried wing sections, and on other routes from France - Fuselage sections of Airliners for Airbus, how long have they been flying over in the US?

Every time I see it I can't get over what a goofy looking plane that is.

I haven't seen one for a long time. I didn't think they were still flying.

Good find, that violates the rule of thumb, "If it looks right, it will fly right"! ; )

I'm pretty sure they went with the "so ugly the ground repels it" train of thought...
