Becky's Airplane

The Lord willing, our good friend Becky will be taking this plane to Christmas Island next week. Becky was so kind and gave us and our kids a tour of this very big, very tech-y plane today.












Becky is a scientist with the National Center for Atmospheric Research.











This is Megan and Becky standing beside the plane. Those metal doohickeys by Becky are the external components for the Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer that Becky uses in her work.







This is a view of the Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometer from the inside of the plane. This doohickey is going to help Becky and other scientists learn more about how we should respond to climate change. Cool, huh?






This is the view out Becky's airplane window for the long trip to Christmas Island. Go Becky! Thanks for helping us learn how to be better stewards of God's creation and for being a good example of a God-fearing Scientist for me and my kids.
