Twilight envelops aircraft and observers at Madras Municipal Airport as they await the following morning's total solar eclipse across Oregon's high desert plateau. The 2017 eclipse created unprecedented aviation activity in this small agricultural community, with the local airport implementing special air traffic procedures to accommodate the surge of over 400 additional aircraft while NASA scientists conducted specialized atmospheric research during the rare two minutes of totality.
