There will be flight crew (pilot, co-pilot and flight engineer), a science crew (flight director, telescope operator, instrument scientist, and sometimes a support scientist), investigator crew (drawn from program PI and CoIs) and members of the “Airborne Astronomy Ambassador” program (teachers affiliated with the SOFIA EPO program).
