Wow, great shot Ed, that's a new one for me! Never seen a snoopy cap with the hole in the front either. |

It does look like the suit's too big, doesn't it? |

Pete needs a few more phone books to sit on in that suit. |

The helmet have a cover cloth never seen on Skylab. The "snoopy cap" seems a new type not adopted for flight.High on the chest, the buttoned pack seems weights for zero gravity simulation in water. |
