NASA's Modified Boeing 777 Returns to Fleet as Next-Generation Airborne Science Laboratory
Summary: NASA's Boeing 777 has returned to the agency's fleet after undergoing heavy structural modifications that transformed the former giant passenger plane into NASA's next-generation airborne science laboratory. After a check flight and a three-hour transit from Waco, the aircraft returned to NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia on April 22, with science flights on the horizon.
