Super Guppy At NMUSAF

[myteaquinn]

I just found out that the Super Guppy is scheduled to land at the USAFM 8/22 around 4:00 P.M. Can anyone verify this as fact?

Weather permitting ... if not then sometime Thursday ... the decision should be made by 1pm on Wednesday .. suggest you watch the musuem website.

The funny thing I thought that I had been checking the museum web site. I put an address about the CCT in my favorites and would check on the daily. Stupid me, it was an old link and last updated 7/17, trying to think how to blame someone in the family for my mistake.

Thanks Misterg97, now that I know what my mistake is I'll check the proper web page. The problem is that I live about 150 miles away and would have to leave well before the go no-go decision is made and Wednesday is the only day that I can take off to go see it. I just hope that the weather is good.
