SOFIA is an airborne observatory, a Boeing 747SP modified to carry a 2.7m infrared telescope in the back of the fuselage. In late October 2015, I had the opportunity to fly on SOFIA during science missions 248 and 249. This episode captures these two flights. The episode is a mix between interviews with scientists and aircrew, recordings from the intercom system and some narration by me. The list of guests can be seen above.
I suggest you listen to Episode 189, SOFIA Part 1 first, if you have not done so, because it explains the details. There is also a video that contains lots of photos about the flights. This episode is 7 hours in length, so the download may take a while.
