When I was flying back from Europe a few years ago crossing the equator I could see the constellation of Orion slowly rotating from upright position as they see it in the north to upside down as we see it in the south, I always wanted to have a telescope mounted in a plane.

I would love to see this one its the SOFIA Telescope onboard a 747
NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy – SOFIA
