Admission is free but tickets are required, see here: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/events/2011/sofia.html
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
Dang it, my one chance to go inside an SP and the thing has to be all the way out in CA. I was hoping to add another notch to the belt having been on a -100, a -200F, and a -400
Holy cow, that would be SWEET!!! Too bad I can't go

it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Wow........very impressive! Wish I had a telescope like that in the back yard for spotting.
