I need to conduct a census. On Dec. 14, 1977 a shuttle solid rocket booster parachute test was conducted at the National Parachute Range, El Centro, Ca. 3-Muscateers dealer, Stan Henderson arranged to have covers flown on the test. He had 20 covers flown and estimated there was a total of about 200 covers flown. I would like any collector who has this cover in their collection to send me a scan of the cover. Please email me directly. Here is what the cover looks like. This is the one Stan Henderson sent to be flown.  |

I'd never seen, nor heard, of these before. Thanks for showing it. |

I've got one here somewhere, John, as I don't think it was traded or sold beforehand. I think mine came from Stan H. as we worked a lot together during those early shuttle test years. |

With no more than 200 covers flown on this flight, my census only accounts for two covers. Where are all the other covers? I am looking to sell mine but want a census so I can put a value on the cover. |
