      You can track the NASA DC-8 using FlightAware.  Tail # N817NA.  You can see today’s track right over SSI at 2100 ft & 248 kts.

      It flys out of Wright-Pat AF Base in OH (KFFO)

      Hmm….just under the 250 knot limit for the NAS, by 2 knots. Barely legal.

      This activity would be a good test question for present SSI students.
