SOFIA's last visit.

[Splitpin]

Snapped by Chris last week , a pity we won't see her anymore. Hopefully, the lads will be able to get some departure shots when the mission is over.

And another visitor

Major apology ... These pictures were Jono's ...not from that slack bugger Chris

Well done Chris I mean Jono... sad to lose such a unique visitor.

SOFIA’s capabilities do not significantly overlap with the science priorities the Decadal Survey has identified for the next decade and beyond

= James Webb Telescope does everything you do and does it so much better.

Perhaps they could stuff and mount SOFIA at the Antarctic hanger.

I'm guessing it'll end up at Pima or one of those big open air museums in the US
