In October 1993, the King Air research aircraft of the University of Wyoming visited McGill University in Montreal, Canada. As part of a National Science Foundation–sponsored educational initiative, graduate students in McGill's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences planned and executed research flights using the King Air. This article describes the project, student preparations, and research flights, and considers the benefits of the initiative. Some thoughts are offered on what was learned and on ways to improve such a project in the future.
