>>64943865I actually shidded near the runway.
>>64944629It is incredible that they used to just allow children to walk up to stuff like this. Makes me sad that kids cannot have dreams of space anymore.
>>64945386Blame thirdies and muslims. I remember getting to sit in the cockpit of a 747 over the Atlantic on a United flight as a kid, something my children will never be able to experience.
>>64945445>I remember getting to sit in the cockpit of a 747Same, I distinctly remember the stewardesses coming round and asking if anyone wanted to go and take a look
>>64945445Saw the cockpit in a Pan Am 747 back in the 80s. LAX to Heathrow. Pretty cool.
Highly recommend the movie "Toward the Unknown".It's basically a showcase of Edwards AFB

>>64947412Its kinda ironic that Chuck Yeager outlived everyone playing him in the Right Stuff. Sam Shepard, kraut pilot that actually flew F-104 in the movie and pic related, guy who died during filming of the movie doing parachute stunts. He probably suffocated due smoke canister attached to his helmet and slammed on desert floor without activating main or reserve parachute.
>>64963372Check the mission markings on Balls Eight.
>>64963977That whole F-104 scene was so kino.
>>64965393Whole movie is kino.
