The prop in shot one looks dangerously slow-moving. Grin

That first one is very dramatic, the cloud formations and the secured prop Cool

What happened?

I was flying a Piper Seminole out of Waco, TX. I'm working on my multi-engine instructor rating.

Thanks for that, just unusual to see a Navy Orion and a NASA Talon in one place.

Oh nothing happened. I was just practicing shutting down and securing an engine. After I got it restarted, we got a "pop-up IFR" back to the airport and approach vectored me through the leading edge of the thunderstorm on an ILS.

Yeah, there's a company on the field that does a lot of contract work on various aircraft. They work on P-3s, C130, and several other military and civilian contracts. One contract they just finished up was SOFIA, hence NASA's presence. Here's a link to the SOFIA website...
