It 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.

Blame 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.

Same, I distinctly remember the stewardesses coming round and asking if anyone wanted to go and take a look

Saw 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

Its 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.
