I’ll probably have an expanded APR article on this and related Saturn carriers, but in the meantime here’s a Lockheed drawing of an airplane designed to take a Saturn I first stage. It utilizes C-130 components such as wings, tail surfaces, landing gear and engines, but completely replaces the fuselage.

…Heh, remember the drop tests for the Minuteman and the Peacekeeper out the back of a C-5? Imagine doing this with the S-1 stage!
