NASA's Aero Spacelines Super Guppy landed at Mansfield-Lahm Regional Airport, November 24, 2019 while transporting the Orion space capsule. The Super Guppy, or "SG", was built directly from the fuselage of a C-97J Turbo Stratocruiser. The Super Guppy is "the only airplane in the world capable of carrying a complete S-IVB stage", the third stage of the Saturn V rocket.[3] The Super Guppy performed this role several times during the Apollo program.
