The third episode of "Mighty Planes" on the Smithsonian Channel is devoted to NASA's Super Guppy. It airs tonight (Nov. 27) at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. EST, and then again on Monday (Nov. 28) at 11 a.m. EST.
The NASA Super Guppy is a jerry-rigged wonder, built from parts of 1950s planes. But her cargo is anything but retro. She has hauled vital aerospace hardware across the country in her 50+ years of service, including parts of Apollo, the Hubble Space Telescope, and Skylab. Now, after being grounded for eight months for major upgrades and maintenance, she and her dedicated crew are back on the job, picking up and delivering a multi-million-dollar payload on a challenging three-day mission.
