Day Six - Testing

I didn't take any pictures at all during the day. There was a lot of work getting FLITECAM up and running on SOFIA. After everything was finished, I hung out with Carla and Mike, the official NASA photographer and videographer. They're great people, fun to talk with, and were very patient with my I'm-sure-amateurish questions. Then the sun began to set...

SOFIA bathed in the golden glow of our nearest star.

FLITECAM on the tarmac at Sunset
The lights on the airport lightened, as did the sky.

The rain had ended the night before, but left its reflection for us to enjoy.
