- This is my 3rd time catching a NASA aircraft (F18, DC8 and now C130) but first for their C130 - what a cool livery. Considering that I only see military C130's, seeing a white one with a civilian registration is weird for me!
NASA operates a very unique fleet of aircraft including this sole C-130 they use for cargo transport. NASA spent the month in northern Greenland in support of their ARCSIX research.
The goal of this research is to quantify the contributions of surface properties, clouds, aerosol particles, and precipitation to the Arctic summer surface and ice melt. The C-130 was accompanying a NASA P-3 that was also stationed there (flew to BGR) Both aircraft were part of the research and have since went back to their home base of Wallops Island.

I was just waiting on TV doc on NASA"s Super Guppy 👌
Nice catch at Burlington. I used to work the ramp for Heritage back in the late 2000's. Coolest two birds I ever had on the ramp were Frank Borman's F-86, flown by Steve Hinton. Really nice guy. gave me a USAF Heritage Flight patch off his flight suit since I bought him a soda since he didn't have any US coins, only Canadian. Also had Air Canada's Lockheed 12 Electra on the ramp for Customs. You could shave in the side of it, it was so polished.
Wow! What a beauty! Glad to see she’s still going strong! Great footage Mark!
Good catch! I should hang out at the airport more!
Wonderful 🥰🥰🥰
nice
