There’s a big new attraction at the Pima Air and Space Museum. KGUN9 was there as a giant flying telescope rolled across Valencia from Davis-Monthan to the Museum.
The Pima Air and Space Museum has the extra space to bring in a lot of large exhibits and today they brought in something that really stopped traffic.
The aircraft called SOFIA arrived at Davis-Monthan last month after a flying career that went from carrying passengers to studying the stars.NASA and the German Space Agency cut a giant hole in the side so SOFIA could fly at high altitude, open the door and expose a large telescope to get clear, infrared shots of the stars and planets.
Greg and Joann Barrett thought they were headed for a typical museum visit when they got a bonus—the spectacle of the museum’s newest feature rolling in. We got a chance to see SOFIA’s interior when the plane arrived at Davis-Monthan. Museum director Scott Marchand says once the plane’s processed and prepped there will be some days when visitors can get their own look inside.
