SOFIA’s last flight

We were honored to document SOFIA’s (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) last flight to Tucson and her new home at Pima Air and Space. SOFIA Boeing 747SP N747NA had a long career (45.6 years) from flying for Pan Am as Clipper Lindbergh N536PA, then for United Airlines N145UA, and finally for NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). #sofiatelescope #nasasofia #n747na #747sp #pimaairandspacemuseum #n536pa #n145ua #panam #unitedairlines #nasa #aviationsafari #boneyardsafari #aviationpreservation
