Gemini 11 command pilot Pete Conrad is seen aboard a helicopter returning him from the recovery ship USS Guam to the Cape Kennedy Skid Strip. Gemini 11 splashed down in the western Atlantic, 700 miles east of Cape Kennedy, at 9 a.m. (EST), Sept. 15, 1966, to conclude a three-day mission in space.

I'm watching Star Wars right now and he looks like a Rebel/Resistance pilot.

What a great photo. Thanks. I was in the US Navy myself and seeing all the open water out there really brings back the memories.

All times are CT (US)
