While true for the other 3 aircraft listed in the video, I think you'll find the Boeing Dreamlifter (aka Large Cargo Freighter or LCF) and Airbus Beluga stay quite busy. Average utilization for the Dreamlifter fleet (four aircraft) is around 1000 hours/month.

Stratolaunch is an interesting (and valid) concept, but I wonder if anything will ever become of it, especially after the death of Paul Allen.
