based on the (lack of) replies, I'm assuming the answer is no. Honestly, that's a little disappointing. I mean, look at this thing. On the newer model they even gave it a face

Would be cool to see one of these someday. I once saw NASA's last Super Guppy doing touch-and-go's, and I've seen the Pregnant Guppy in its museum home in Oregon.
And yet, despite all aerodynamic common sense, it works. It’s the only aircraft that looks like it was doodled by a six-year-old and then approved by a committee of engineers who just said, “Well, sure, why not?”
See them from time to time overhead near Paris. It's true that they look much cuter with the face on them though. The original was butt-ugly ! (if someone were to paint an orange face and yellow comb-over, then it would be even funnier!)

They're awesome. And it isn't unusual to see them from near my home - which is even cooler.
Was an air cadet, grew up next to Heathrow. My uncle worked in imports and used to take me over to see weird planes and boxes of baby snakes.
Totally looks like a beluga, if it had a refueling rod sticking out the front it could also be a narwhal.
