More wind tunnel test at NASA, researchers set up instrumentation on a 0.037- scale model of a Saturn booster in the 8- by 6-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel at the NASA Lewis Research Center. In October 1960 Lewis researchers John Allen and Robert Wasko began a 14-month investigation of the eight-engine booster’s base heating in the tunnel. The model resembled the Saturn C-1, but only the afterbody totally mimicked the C-1. #saturnv #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari #spacesaf

USS Enterprise CVAN-65 returning to NAS Alameda in 1967 following her deployment to the Western Pacific during the Vietnam War. Check out the size of Vigilante in the flight deck, note the aircraft in camo. #ussenterprise #cvn65 #boneyardsafari #navalsafari #aviationsafari
