One of the strangest flying metal bird in aviation history came by Seattle, Wa to drop off its first of three special deliveries. Just before noon NASA’s Super Guppy aircraft, carrying Crew Compartment of the Space Shuttle Trainer, broke through some low ceiling clouds just in time to make a low level flyover over the runway before heading to downtown Seattle on its way up the shoreline to Everett, WA. Super Guppy NASA941 returned to Boeing Field around 12:30pm to a large crowed gathered along the runway, Perimter Road, the Hills, and the Museum of Flight Parking Lot.
