CONWAY — A NASA airplane flew over North Conway on Monday morning. The airplane's mission was to help scientists learn about carbon dioxide cycles in forests. Hillbilly's Southern BBQ owner Frank Welch spotted the plane flying over his restaurant at around 11 a.m. The plane circled
above Hillbilly's about eight times. The plane also flew low over the Moat Mountains. "It was pretty cool," said Welch. NASA spokesman Stephen Cole said the flight was a part of a mission called Eco3D. Researchers are looking at forests' ability to store and release carbon, which relates to climate change. see NASA page 8
