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

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: @AirCanada’s #AC1070.

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/avtal…

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

Chicago, be on the look out for @NASAArmstrong’s DC-8 in the skies over the city today for the AEROMMA mission. The aircraft will fly as low as 2000 ft above the ground. flightradar24.com/NASA817/31…
