This 67 second video clip shows NASA's second Global Hawk Earth sciences aircraft #871 as it took to the skies May 27 on its first checkout flight since being acquired by NASA almost three years ago. The remotely operated craft was the first developmental Global Hawk built by Northrop Grumman Corporation's Ryan Aeronautical division, and was transferred to NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in late 2007 when its test program ended.
