These are the Flight Directors that worked the DoD classified flight, STS-53 in December, 1992. From left to right: Rob Kelso, STS-53 Lead and Orbit 2 Team FD; Linda Ham, Planning Team FD; Wayne Hale, Ascent/Entry Team FD; and Milt Heflin, Orbit 1 Team FD. The photo was taken just outside the secure area of Mission Control in Bldg. 30 at JSC. STS-53 was the last mission supported from the 3rd floor Mission Operations Control Room (MOCR) which is THE room (old Apollo room) focused on in the book "Go, Flight - The Unsung Heroes of Mission Control." Thanks to Milt Heflin for the photo.

They look more like characters from "Get Smart" than "007"s...
