Don't know if this is the right spot to post this, so if need be go ahead and move it to the correct location.

Yesterday(Friday), NASA Ames had a tweet-up for 50 people that were picked from twitter to tour SOFIA and they also invited the media to cover the event and take a tour of the aircraft. It was my first time being up close and personal with this beauty. Got to see Marita Beard one of the teachers that got a chance to go up on one of the science missions and she also brought 100 of her high school students to tour SOFIA.

I got to talking with the public affairs director for SOFIA and he told me that they have a program where they take the media up during missions and its a three day event of training and other stuff. So in the near future I'll hopefully be going up in SOFIA.
