The @NOAA_HurrHunter & @53rdWRS Hurricane Hunters hard at work this afternoon as Hurricane #Milton churns past Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and moves toward Florida. https://t.co/q1rpV0Eazd

And of course, @NASA’s WB-57 Canberra high-altitude research aircraft will also be following the path of totality. https://t.co/dw8bK3HJ6l

With the #2024Eclipse today, those high above the clouds will have the best view. Multiple airlines have flights along the path of totality, but it looks like one will stay within the path the entire flight: @AirCanada’s #AC1070.

Can't ask for a better video of a DC8 low approach than that https://t.co/dRHHgKzEg6

Last week we said AvTalk would take a break this week, then Air India rebranded, the NTSB released its final report on UA1722, and a NASA meteorologist explained exactly why the DC-8 was flying so low over large American cities. Enjoy the new episode! https://t.co/nhOGEIVVDj

Beachgoers have more sights and sounds than usual, with the DC-8 making measurements along Lake Michigan's eastern shore. This was from South Haven, MI. All part of @TEMPO_Mission validation. #AEROMMA @blefer @turbomike15 @flightradar24

You can see the yellow areas are when the aircraft was flying just below 1000 ft

It's a DC8 aircraft from NASA @WaddleandSilvy
More @NASA #AEROMMA flight activity above Chicagoland today. Be on the look out for the DC-8 as low as 2,000 feet above ground level. Search “NASA” on Flightradar24 to find active flights by NASA’s airborne science aircraft.

Another busy day for NASA aircraft over Chicago. You can track those aircraft on @NASAAirborne Tracker here: https://t.co/DEv8gHeUlR, in addition to @flightradar24 . @blefer @turbomike15 @Cyclogenesis_au

For those who missed the first pass of NASA 817 - just after 11 am - a 2nd chance came around 3:15 pm, when the aircraft made another sweep along its initial path. The DC-8 is here sampling low level emissions to better understand air pollutants. More at https://t.co/vhbRxCcLib
