I used to think the Beluga was a joke because I'd only seen FSX videos of it and hadn't actually researched it...until the other day. What a wild looking plane.

Going off on a slight tangent, but not to be outdone, Boeing has its own "Plane of Size"

"The Whalejet" seems popular.

I call it the Sky Cow, since it always reminds me of a manatee (the sea cow).
