Scientific paper

Practical aspects of airborne astronomy are discussed, and a typical observation flight is depicted. The research aircraft operated by NASA Ames (U2, Kuiper Airborne Observatory, and Learjet NASA 705) are characterized, and the equipment, layout, and flight parameters of the Learjet are examined in detail. The flight plan and procedures for far-IR observations at 13.5-km altitude of oxygen distribution in Galactic H II regions are described. Photographs of the aircraft and sample results are included.
