Up close and personal with @nasa SOFIA! @avairshow The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy was a joint project between NASA and the German Aerospace Center. Built on a Boeing 747SP the aircraft helps researchers get above 80% of the earth's water vapor in the atmosphere that blocks some infrared wavelengths from reaching ground based telescopes. SOFIA is now permanently based at @pimaair #SOFIA #747 #747SP #Boeing747 #Boeing747SP #NASA #flyby #lowflyby #buzzthetower #edwardsairforce
