A wildfire next to our measurement area
Dive into the smoke of the wildfire and see how it wobbles inside the plane when flying in the atmospheric boundary layer to collect samples!
Unfortunately, one of the pilots fell ill and we are staying down for a few days. While wishing him a good recovery here are some more beautiful shots of the landscape flown from HALO.
