Temus and I went to the 25th anniversary of the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex (NFAC) at NASA Ames and it was awesome.  I put together an album. Enjoy!

That's pretty cool.
How big of winds does it generate?
And what's it used for?
The opinions expressed here are my own and I have my wife's permission to say so.

The wind velocity can reach 120 mph. Oh sorry I forgot to say that it is 80 X 120 ft wind tunnel.
