Pima Guppy
Here's a 2006 look at the Pima Air & Space Museum's Aero Spacelines B377-SG "Super Guppy" freighter.
The Super Guppy was built directly from the fuselage of a C-97J Turbo Stratocruiser...the military version of the Boeing B377 Stratocruiser passenger airliner of the 1950's.
Super Guppies were used to haul oversize parts for aircraft and spacecraft. One Super Guppy SGT remains in use, transporting cargo for NASA.
Here's a look at the active SGT, photographed by my Flickr friend Michael Davis:
