On this exciting episode of Between Two Wings we talk with Dean Neeley, better known by his fellow pilots as “Gucci”, who flies NASA’s unique high-altitude research jet, the ER-2. Learn about what it’s like to fly at 70,000 feet, the safety precautions taken to protect pilots, and how the ER-2 can occasionally puzzle air traffic controllers. Dean also explains how ER-2 pilots eat, drink, and use ForeFlight while wearing a modified spacesuit, the types of onboard scientific instruments they operate, and the unique challenges faced by ER-2 pilots during takeoff and landing.
