    Well this is neat.

    NASA806 (N806NA) north of Ottawa, over Quebec flying with NASA426 (P-3 Orion).

    Just thought I'd share.

    Thanks for the link. They may be up again this month or next. According to the NASA Air Research Program calendar...link..their allocation to IMPACTS science flights lasts until the 28th February.

    Good catch. Over on discord there are idiots claiming that the database is wrong because they don't know it's really a U2! Hilarity ensued, with the mocking of the idiots.

    They flew out of Dobbins ARB (KMGE) , near me in Atlanta, we were expecting a evening departure and people were lined up on US 41 and Atlanta Road ( opposite ends of runway 11/29 ) but they never left till approximately 10PM by then people had to return home as it was a work day.
