Cathedral High School - Flying Fish? - 16-02-2017

Cathedral High School - Flying Fish? - 16-02-2017. From out-side the barbwire fence it look kinda strange. As soon as I approached the fence I could see the signs "Keep Out" and other warnings. I thought to my self, they can't shoot me, I'm outside the fence. I have a camera. All I'm going to do is shoot (oh oho wrong choice of words). All I'm going to do is take some pictures.

CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL - MARTY'S FOLLY 2 FLYING FISH?

CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL - MARTY'S FOLLY 2 FLYING FISH? That thing can't fly. It is too big. But proved it they did. They showed me that it did fly. This is an aircraft form the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) Stationed here in El Paso, Texas. The transportation of oversized cargo has always been a tremendous problem for logistics planners in government and private industry. The physical limitations of railroad tunnels, narrow roads, low bridges, and power lines make overland shipment of such cargo extremely problematic, if not impossible. NASA's Super Guppy offers a practical and economical solution to these problems.
