NASA’s X-59 flies above the Mojave Desert against a blue sky. The aircraft’s long nose is angled slightly upward to the left, with its landing gear down. Layers of mountains are visible in the background. The aircraft is backlit, appearing to float as it ferries to NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. — X-59 First Flight—October 28, 2025
NASA’s X-59 quiet supersonic research aircraft flies above Palmdale and Edwards, California, on its first flight. The aircraft traveled to NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, where it will begin flight testing for NASA’s Quesst mission, which aims to demonstrate quiet supersonic flight over land.

The large super guppy plane flies into Huntsville, Alabama for a landing. — NASA’s Super Guppy—November 6, 2023
NASA’s Super Guppy arrives in Alabama carrying the heat shield that protected Orion’s crew module during its flight on Artemis I. The one-of-a-kind, turboprop-powered aircraft ferried the heat shield from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to Huntsville Regional Airport for transport to the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center. Technicians at Marshall will use the center’s specialized milling tool to remove the heat shield’s outer layer of ablative material, a protective coating called Avcoat, as part of routine post-flight analysis.

An aircraft taxis through a water salute streaming from water hoses from two firetrucks positioned on either side of the aircraft. The converging water streams create a rainbow above the aircraft as it passes under the arc of spraying water. — NASA’s DC-8 Final Mission—April 1, 2024
The DC-8 aircraft returned to NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center Building 703 in Palmdale, California, after completing its final mission supporting Airborne and Satellite Investigation of Asian Air Quality (ASIA-AQ). The aircraft and crew were welcomed back with a celebratory water salute by the U.S. Air Force Plant 42 Fire Department.
