A former Palestinian national soccer team player and star of Gaza's Al-Shati'a Services Club was killed by Israeli forces while waiting to get humanitarian aid. https://t.co/br7zkKMRxj

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

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

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.

Out of left field. Not mad.

Can't ask for a better video of a DC8 low approach than that https://t.co/dRHHgKzEg6 @blefer @turbomike15 @flightradar24 @NASAAirborne #AEROMMA

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

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

[W]RIGLEY FIELD IS ELECTRIC!

[Alex Kotsakis @akotsakis]

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

.@NASA G-V also doing some rasters

.@NASA DC-8 back over the Chicago area today, with some sampling also over the Indianapolis area. #AEROMMA @flightradar24 @Cyclogenesis_au https://t.co/lVzNk886Te

Some of the best shots I've seen of the DC8 in the Chicago area. @blefer @turbomike15 @Cyclogenesis_au @NASAEarth

[Alex Kotsakis @akotsakis]

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

[Alex Kotsakis @akotsakis]

It's a DC8 aircraft from NASA @WaddleandSilvy

[Flightradar24 @flightradar24]

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.
