I saw the SuperTransporter at the airshow and I can't believe that the thing flys. The thing is an aerodynamic masterpiece

Only the French could design something so f*cking ugly. But I'm sure its mother thinks its beautiful...

HUGE
 
The Super Transporter was parked here in YBTL today (23 FEB 03). An incredible sight indeed.

Where was the camera when I needed it!

expensive cargo
 
Believe the Beluga was delivering a full load of our new attack helicopters to YBBN.

All i could see while taxiing out on saturday from the international apron was the huge door standing up in the air.

cheers and beers:}
