University of Wyoming King Air N2UW flew local Salt Lake City research sorties on August 18 and 19 as the SLC-SOS campaign continued across the Wasatch Front. NCAR's project page identifies the aircraft as the airborne component for July and August 2026, while contemporaneous reporting described repeated low-altitude sampling flights.
