Aero Spacelines 377MGT Mini Guppy Turbo

Aero Spacelines developed the turboprop conversion on the 377MGT first, then used the same conversion on the more successful Super Guppys. The 377MGT Mini Guppy Turbine, first flew on March 13, 1970, but was involved in an accident at Edwards Air Force Base on May 12, 1970. With the crash of the 377MGT and the shrinking budgets, Aero Spacelines found itself no customers for the 377MGT.
