OSH Go Arounds

Package inbound. Contents:

Diode cases from the diodes in the Apollo 11 landing radar including the
hand-inked diode test results from Hughes Electronics.

Test instrument used for testing the operation of the radar into a simulated
landing environment.

Photographs of a VERY young engineer being shown on a model of the LEM where
the landing radar was going.

Photographs of a VERY young engineer out on the antenna pattern range in a
40 knot wind testing a breadboard of the radar circuit.

Clippings from electronic magazines of the day telling about how electronics
made the sucker work.

Copy of the customs form used to "clear" the astronauts back into Honolulu.


Forgot:

2 commemorative coins from Apollo 15 telling how our video transmitter was

I believe the collision of the Corsair and the Bearcat a few years ago
was a loss of situational awareness. The FAA hands over the field to
EAA during the airshow, and the various coordinators of the airshow
manage the launch, timing, form-up and recovery of the airshow
participants (managed by EAA "showcase" along with warbirds). Neither
the orange shirts, or the pink shirts are out there during the airshow.

The Corsair vs. Bearcat was a tragic accident, and I think it was
because one thought the other was taking off, rather than just taxiing
forward. And he went. Many saw what happened next.

Sad.
I know the Corsair pilot lived, but was paralyzed (or something to that
affect). Does anyone know any update???

That's an example of the attitude that destroyed a priceless Corsair
a few years
back.

I'm seeing an entire wall (painting) of Mission Control specialists peeking
over the top of their work stations - looking into the suite ...back at the
guests.

Too conceptual? :-)(-:

Fun site to go to and reminisce.

I have an older sister, who in high school cut the covers off every Life
magazines that came into the house and taped them to her bedroom walls -
hundreds of covers over a number of years. I think it's something kids did
back then. I'm guessing 1967-1971. (I was in first grade when the "wall
covers" went up)

Wouldn't that sort of...ummm...inhibit the activities of the suite
inhabitants? I mean, I'm not particularly opposed to voyeurism, but the
whole damned mission control watching?

"Liftoff, we have LIFTOFF". "We have orbit insertion".
