I cut my flight controller teeth on AS-201. We ran 144 training simulations of that 38 minute lob downrange. Very reminiscent -- thanks for posting.Sy |

Ed, I would appreciate copies, as well. I never did see the inside of SC 009. As I recall, it used an Agena timer for the automatic functions.By the way, Ed Pavelka was one of our ace FDOs. Sy |
