Spotted in a C-130 Hercules at NASA’s Wallops Flight Center, 1/14/2020. Too many buttons, wires, and lights for me. Don’t get me wrong: it’s awesome. But I am not qualified.

Inside the hangar during my tour of @nasa‘s Wallops Flight Facility. It’s big! I was there to get the lowdown on the IMPACTS 2020 airborne research mission to study the inner mechanisms of snowstorms.

Inside the hangar during my NASA Social adventure at Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. What you see here is a NASA P-3B, basically a flying laboratory packed with microphysics probes and assorted doodads, ready to chase snowstorms for the agency's IMPACTS mission.

The tail end of a @nasa P-3B research aircraft, parked in the hangar at Wallops Flight Facility, Virginia. NASA’s IMPACTS 2020 mission is flying this workhorse, packed with instrumentation, to study the inner workings of snowstorms.
