Thanks for all the input - it's much appreciated. I take it John Hodge was the FD (along with Gene Kranz) but who was the AFD? |

For GT-VIII, NASA planned two 12-hour shifts for flight control. Blue was Hodge with Charlesworth as deputy. White was Kranz.Hodge's AFDs were William Platt, Stu Present, and James Bates. Kranz's were Donald Butler and Chuck Lewis. |
