This PEA is a call for science investigations that include the development, delivery, and use of second generation instruments for the SOFIA observatory. SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, consists of a German-built 2.7-meter (2.5-meter useable aperture) telescope mounted in a Boeing 747-SP aircraft supplied and modified by NASA. Flying at altitudes up to 45,000-feet, SOFIA observes from above more than 99 percent of Earth's atmospheric water vapor, thereby opening windows to the universe not available from the ground. SOFIA offers international science teams up to 1000 cloud-free, high-altitude science observi ng hours per year during its two decade design lifetime. Additional information on SOFIA may be found at http://www.sofia.usra.edu/ .
