Default NASAs 747SP SOFIA in NZ for last missions

NASA’s SOFIA airborne telescope is currently in NZ for what will be it’s last missions as the 747SP retires this year. Almost tempted to take a trip to CHC to see her!

The aircraft was a regular to Australia when she was in service with Pan Am and later United.
