Photo of Sue Grafton taken in advance of the Flight Dynamic Research Facility's (FDRF) ribbon cutting. Sue started as a researcher for the N.A.C.A. and worked in the vertical spin tunnel (VST). She has since worked in the 30x60 full-scale tunnel for many years before its closure and then returned to VST and 12ft (NASA’s oldest operational wind tunnels). She will also be onboard for the commissioning of the FDRF, NASA’s newest wind tunnel.
