NASA Supper Guppy delivers damaged A-7D 74-1749

     Continuing on the theme from B-1B aft section delivery of the NASA Super Guppy working with Vought Aircraft, 940 made a few visits to the ramp at Hensley Field. This photo series shows 940 delivering A-7D 74-1749 to the Vought plant for repairs. Looking at the clothing worn by the men in the photos I would think, but have not confirmed, this is the August 1980 delivery from San Juan, PR.
