Mark http://www.navsource.org/archives/07/0748.htm Can't help but be a bit proud, as it's the only thing I've ever had to do with a ship, let alone a US Nave ship that have long lives of doing there job. I worked on that turret with two guys sitting on it. It's like a strange revolver for Harpoon missiles, as they reside in a round revolver, that delivers the missile to the arms up top.

Thanks. Greg http://gregsplace.50megs.com http://www.picturetrail.com/fugitive1 I'm 50 years old. To this day I still watch every launch like I did when I was 10 years old. Several years ago (early 1990's) I was at the Owls Head, Maine Museum air show and there was an older gentleman wiping down his black P-51 Mustang. I told him he had a beautiful plane and he thanked me. A very small air show and up close. He and his wife got in the plane, took off, did a few stunts and then I found out it was Frank Borman. I was floored. Mark |

I was floored. Mark Ok, so you wanna drop names; BTW 63. When I was at Downey they had the astronaut come down for a fit & try of their ship. They put out a red carpet, brought them in on chopper, then had the pretties secretaries, drive them to a podium in an electric golf cart. They game a little speech or, wait, maybe that was after a successful flight. Anyway, several groups of them came down, usually in three's. I got autographs of Walt Cunningham, Wally Shirah, and was quite thrilled with the whole thing. If we were working when one went up, they let us watch. I knew we were doing something important, but never made a big deal about, it, after all, it was just a job. Greg http://gregsplace.50megs.com http://www.picturetrail.com/fugitive1 |

Sort of green color and on of only a few I have ever seen of that age in this country. |
