Super Guppy Eats Some T-38s

Two NASA T-38 aircraft were swallowed whole by NASA’s Super Guppy recently on Dryden Flight Research Center’s back ramp. The Guppy then airlifted the two retired T-38s to El Paso, Texas, where they will be dismantled for parts to keep other T-38s flown by NASA’s Johnson Space Center flyable. Only the T-38s’ wingtips were removed to enable them to fit in the Guppy’s 25-foot-wide cargo bay.
