The Deepwater horizon oil slick seen from the window of the Lockheed WP-3D
Orion aircraft. Best known as one of NOAA's hurricane hunters, the plane was
outfitted with chemical sensors for a mission in California but was diverted to
the Gulf of Mexico for several days in June as part of a multi-agency effort to
assess the atmospheric consequences of the greatest oil spill in U.S. history.
