The Beluga & Beluga XL are indispensable.

Looks like there may be another damaged A350 in Atlanta after the incident today. Then there's the poor CRJ that looks pretty bad.

These incidents will become ever more frequent with airplane's wings getting ever wider. They are too big to handle! Both Boeing and Airbus should've insisted on folding wings right from the beginning! Anyway the damage is done, but Airbus's future airplanes (A350neo) MUST get folding wings!
Props to Boeing for putting on folding wings on the 777x.

Starting to think that 1 Beluga might head to Atlanta after what ever happened the day after the Belugas Flight to LHR LOL

I actually was there on the day. Tried to view the Beluga from the T4 viewpoint but it was just out of view from that angle.

They should have towed the A350 back to Toulouse 😅

Beluga operations are scheduled months in advance coordinating between component manufacturers and assembly plants. April 6th to September 9th, five months and three days waiting line for that aileron delivery.

I’ve flown in and out of Toulouse last month, and have taken pics from the airport lounge. They’re parked across the runway!

The pushback driver was undoubtedly reassigned. The Beluga followed in the footsteps of Boeing's Guppy.
