Additional Information
The objective of this mission was to ferry the MAS instrument from Salina, Kansas to Moffett Field, California for continuation of SUCCESS field program.

The ER-2 launched at 1600 UTC and flew towards desert southwest U.S. collecting mostly clear scenes. Beginning at 1811 UTC, a RAMS calibration maneuver was executed, with the ER-2 flying 5 minute legs into the sun and away from the sun followed by 5 minute legs back and forth perpendicular to the sun.

The pilot noted nice, clear scenes of Death Valley, California.
