Thanks! It's either feast or famine, though. Had a nice visit with a captain from the security folks to pass the time. And I mean that sincerely, we shot the breeze for a bit in good humor.  ;)
Lucky! Cool shots btw...

Thanks! Here's a shot showing the flaps. I couldn't see the starboard side, but noticed that there were no obvious exterior sensors of the port side or the wings such as what they carried during the polar flights.  :)

And the B-1B after 4pm. But I had to help some folks at the office so only saw or heard them from there.  ;)

Great shots!  <thumbup>

I'm wondering if they're getting it ready for another science mission. I've got to drop Gray Creech a note, I'll ask him about it.
Jim, I heard back from Gray over at Dryden: "the DC-8 is flying some science instrument checkout flights in preparation for a deployment to South America in Oct. There are no media events planned at the moment."
