BOEING 747SP (N747NA)
Comments
SOFIA! Nice shot. I got to see this being built/modified in Waco at the L3 facility there.
10 years ago lived in Lancaster @ 30th East & Ave K - on north downwind leg from AF Plant 42 and saw this many times doing touch n gos I expect. Apparently it's been cancelled.

On the other hand the Webb telescope will do much better in mid-IR than SOFIA (or anything else air or ground-based) ever could. It's still a wonderful variation on the theme of 747 though.
