Today, Admiral Amanda Goeller visited Rider Jet Center, and was briefed on the two-week long NOAA Air Quality Testing mission.

She toured the Rider Jet Center facility, and also was briefed on the Twin Otter's work. Here is a photo of her being briefed at the aircraft, before speaking with the scientists.

Rider Jet Center is hosting a team of scientists, and crew. We love hosting this important mission.

This de Havilland Twin Otter is working hard for the next two weeks! Doing incredible air quality testing...and calling Rider Jet Center home during its incredible mission! The aircraft is a flying laboratory, flown by NOAA. Several scientists and crew are calling Hagerstown home during the testing.

We like the paint scheme...it matches our blue Rider Jet Center signage!
