heng44 | The 1966 astronaut selectees from Edwards AFB pose in front of an F-104 on April 6, 1966. Left to right: Fred Haise, Ed Mitchell, Charlie Duke, Al Worden and Joe Engle. Thanks to Tony Landis for the photo. |
mark plas | Right place right time |
robsouth | Great pic Ed. |
moorouge | Just a curious observation and of no great consequence, but I wonder if there is some hidden psychological significance in the fact that the only moon walkers in the picture are both standing with their right foot forward? |
Tom | ...and the the ones scheduled to walk on the Moon, but did not, are wearing jackets. |
nasamad | And the ones not wearing overalls have belts on their trousers!! |
robsouth | And the ones that are in the Air Force are not in the Navy. |
413 is in | And the only one to fly on Apollo 13 is not wearing a hat. |
micropooz | And if you digitize the photo, then play the 1's and 0's backwards, it says "Paul is dead"... |
Joel Katzowitz | ... and the only guy wearing brown shoes used to live next door to my cousin. Really. |
Steve Procter | And of course this is the original line up of the Foo Fighters... |
Fezman92 | ...and if you digitize the photo you can see in the reflection of the bottom of the plane the Hollywood set... |
ASCAN1984 | Just started reading "Falling to Earth" so this photo interests me so much. Wonderful choice. |
star61 | And the way most experienced pilot in the group didn't fly Apollo at all..! |
Delta7 | I believe Bill Pogue, Stu Roosa and Ken Mattingly were also based at Edwards at that time. |
albatron | And I have one of these completely signed. |
astro-nut | A fantastic photo!! Thanks for sharing. |
