NASA – Test Aircraft Photo History
By Henry Tenby
Over the decades NASA has used a varied and interesting mix of aircraft to conduct flight test research for the US based flight and space test and research government agency. NASA has two flight test bases one being at Moffett Field South of San Francisco in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara County, and the other being at the Langley Research Center at Langley AFB in Hampton, Virginia, not too far from Washington, DC.

Henry Tenby has been collecting aircraft slides since the early 1980s, and has amassed the collection of NASA flight test development aircraft slides in his collection as presented on this page.
I am looking to purchase 35mm Kodachrome aircraft slide collections. Please contact me: henrytenby at gmail dot com
