The NASA Super Guppy looks almost unreal as it glides in for landing – a giant silver whale floating perfectly level with the ground.
Built to haul oversized cargo that can’t fit in any other aircraft, it’s basically a shipping container with wings.
As it inches toward the runway, the massive fuselage stays ruler-straight, defying everything you expect from flight.
It’s proof that reality can sometimes look downright unreal.
