The Flight of the World's Last Mini Guppy
Can the flight aficionados at the Tillamook Air Museum save this giant
cargo plane built to transport rockets, school buses, and giraffes from
Africa?

The Mini Guppy, which turns 47 this month, has seen better days. Years of
exposure to salty coastal conditions at the Tillamook Air Museum have
corroded its wings and engines. The snub-nosed plane, built to carry
outsize cargo, hasnt flown since 1997. But facing a funding shortfall, the
museum plans to transfer its collection of vintage craft to Madras, where
the dry climate is friendlier to old planes. If the Mini Guppy is to
survive, then it must fly again. If it cant make the trip, the museum
could scrap it.
.
Aero Spacelines built five Guppies during the 1960s to haul NASAs giant
rockets, among other things. The Mini clocks in at 85,000 poundsnot
including its max 32,000-pound payloadbut uses engines designed for a much
lighter plane.
