That's a great 'family' photo. I always liked the Hl 10. It was my favorite of the lifting bodies. I only wish they had found a more sheltered location for it after its retirement than a gate guard at Edwards.

Am I the only one who automatically looks for the "Like" button after seeing your photos?
