NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) aircraft flew its final flight from Armstrong Flight Research Center in Palmdale, California, before landing at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., Dec. 13, 2022. The SOFIA aircraft is a Boeing 747SP jetliner modified to carry a reflecting telescope. It allowed astronomers to study the solar system and beyond in ways that are not possible with ground-based telescopes. The aircraft is scheduled to be displayed at the Pima Air and Space Museum January 2023.
