Looking good Airborne Science NASA Earth. #AEROMMA @Cyclogenesis_au Flightradar24 @turbomike15

For those who missed the first pass of NASA 817 - just after 11 am - a 2nd chance came around 3:15 pm, when the aircraft made another sweep along its initial path. The DC-8 is here sampling low level emissions to better understand air pollutants. More at cbsnews.com/chicago/live

Another busy day for NASA aircraft over Chicago. You can track those aircraft on Airborne Science Tracker here: airbornescience.nasa.gov/tracker/, in addition to Flightradar24 . Barry Lefer @turbomike15 @Cyclogenesis_au

Some of the best shots I've seen of the DC8 in the Chicago area. @blefer @turbomike15 @Cyclogenesis_au NASA Earth

Beachgoers have more sights and sounds than usual, with the DC-8 making measurements along Lake Michigan's eastern shore. This was from South Haven, MI. All part of TEMPO Mission validation. #AEROMMA Barry Lefer @turbomike15 Flightradar24

[W]RIGLEY FIELD IS ELECTRIC!

Last week we said AvTalk would take a break this week, then Air India rebranded, the NTSB released its final report on UA1722, and a NASA meteorologist explained exactly why the DC-8 was flying so low over large American cities. Enjoy the new episode! flightradar24.com/blog/avtalk-22…

Can't ask for a better video of a DC8 low approach than that instagram.com/reel/CwlNvnvKq… Barry Lefer @turbomike15 Flightradar24 Airborne Science #AEROMMA

Oh, my WOW. Big, big news today for the #Cubs.

Out of left field. Not mad.

With the #2024Eclipse today, those high above the clouds will have the best view. Multiple airlines have flights along the path of totality, but it looks like one will stay within the path the entire flight: Air Canada’s #AC1070.

And of course, NASA’s WB-57 Canberra high-altitude research aircraft will also be following the path of totality. flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/…
