What's up with the image widths?

Check the two images of the SOFIA aircraft on the top right. Both are thumbs set at 280px, yet the image on the top is less wider than the one below it. I want both to be of the same width. Can any of you see what is wrong?--PremKudva 06:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Unconfirmed statement

I removed the following statement from the article because I don't see any means to bring it into compliance with Misplaced Pages:Citing sources.

The first school children to see it were students from Waco Montessori School.

I could not find any source that would corroborate this assertion. It may well be true, but without a reference we can't be sure.—RJH (talk) 19:19, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

You were right, there is no way to verify it, and additionally that information is not important to the article. I mean what next, a visit from retirees from a nearby home?--PremKudva 03:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Change image for SOFIA

Hi I am waiting to be an autoconfirmed user, but until then I would like to add images to the SOFIA Observatory. I am the Outreach Coordinator here and have authorization to the entire SOFIA photo archives. Can someone help me upload the image or does someone know who I can talk to? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dar mendoza (talk • contribs) 18:45, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
