Freedom flies high. 🇺🇸✈️ NASA’s fleet of aircraft based at Ellington Field in Houston, Texas, recently received a special touch up to celebrate America’s big birthday. With the 4th of July right around the corner, our WB-57, T-38s, and Gulfstream V now take to the skies proudly displaying the Freedom 250 emblem.
