Eclipse Flight Captured In Aboard Navy Jet
Air Force Maj. Robert W. Vining led the mission in a Bedford, Massachusetts navigator role aboard a large jet. The crew tracked the eclipse from a 120 mile shadow across the Pacific as ionospheric scientists monitored changes. Captain Kenneth Crooks handled the automatic pilot while the crew executed the routine with mathematical precision. The eclipse produced a violet sunset glow and the sky shifted through greys pinks and blues as the shadow moved forward.
