I could have wished for a better angle, or a closer shot - but frankly, I never expected to see one of these in person. The DreamLifter was custom-built from a 747 to carry large cargo (wings, fuselage bits, etc.) for the 787 Dreamliner; there's only 4 of them in the world, so I wasn't expecting to see one in person. But when I was down at the Kansas Aviation Museum in Wichita, I looked across to the runways at adjoining McConnell AFB... and there it was.
As for well-proportioned... it bulges, but not tremendously compared to its body. Its Airbus counterpart - the Beluga - looks like it'd have a lot more trouble flying.
