Author	Topic: Fate of historic launch pads' swing arms
Rick Boos Member Posts: 851 From: Celina, Ohio Registered: Feb 2000	posted 04-27-2012 11:17 AM Does anyone know for sure if the Pad 34 swing arm and white room were saved? I heard that Charlie Bell owned and sold the white room overseas years ago before he passed away. Also I was wondering about the whereabouts of the two number 9 swing arms that were used at Pad 39 from LUTs 2 and 3. Were they saved or on display somewhere?

I believe that the KSC arm is from LUT #1. There is a third white room at Kansas Cosmosphere.
