We compare measurements of six species taken aboard NASA DC‐8 and ER‐2 aircraft during two flight legs in the tropical middle troposphere near Hawaii. NO, NO y , O 3 , CH 4 , and N 2 O measurements agree to within the limits set by the known systematic errors. For CO 2 , which can be measured with better relative precision than the other five species, differences in measured values from the two platforms are slightly larger than expected if the air masses sampled by the two aircraft were indeed similar in CO 2 composition to better than 0.08%.
