NASA’s DC-8 to Fly Low Altitude Over Pocatello, Idaho, for Final Flight
==========
NASA’s DC-8 aircraft will fly at low altitude over Pocatello, Idaho, and surrounding areas during its final flight from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, to Idaho State University. After 37 years of successful airborne science missions, the DC-8 aircraft is retiring at Idaho State University, where it will be used to train future aircraft technicians by providing hands-on experience at the college’s Aircraft Maintenance Technology Program. The flight will take place on Wednesday, May 15, between 2:00-2:30 PM. All flyovers are conducted at a safe altitude without harm to public, wildlife, or infrastructure. The DC-8's flight path can be followed in real-time on the Airborne Science website or through the FlightAware app. For more information, contact Erica Heim at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center.
