Contributed significantly to scientific research, particularly air quality data collection
DC-8 will be used for aviation training for future technicians
End of an era in scientific research but new opportunities for ISU students
NASA's DC-8 jet retired and transferred to Idaho State University
NASA's historic DC-8 jet, a flying science laboratory that served the agency for 37 years, made its final journey on May 15, 2024. The plane took off from NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California and landed at Idaho State University (ISU), where it will be used to train future aircraft technicians.
The DC-8 has contributed significantly to scientific research, particularly in the field of air quality data collection. It has flown over major cities like New York City and Chicago, gathering valuable data for scientists and researchers worldwide. The acquisition of the jet from NASA was spearheaded by Ed Foster, a clinical instructor and coordinator with ISU's College of Technology.
The DC-8's retirement marks the end of an era in scientific research but also opens up new opportunities for students at ISU. They will now have hands-on experience working on this one-of-a-kind aircraft, gaining valuable skills and knowledge that will prepare them for successful careers as aircraft technicians.
The DC-8's final flight was a significant event not only for the scientific community but also for the aviation industry. It is a testament to NASA's commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and providing opportunities for future generations of scientists and technicians.
