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? |

One of the swing arms is on outdoor display at KSC visitors centre, there is another indoors at the new Davidson Center for Space Exploration in Huntsville. I believe that the KSC arm is from LUT #1.There is a third white room at Kansas Cosmosphere.

I read (probably here on cS) that the white room from Pad 34 still exists, but not sure where it is. Puerto Rico is the location I recall, but I may be wrong. |
