Preserving Aviation HIstory

Check out the X-31, the world’s first international X-plane, demonstrates controlled flight at high alpha courtesy of its canards and thrust vectoring paddles in the exhaust stream in 1994. #x31 #xplane #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is a replica Wright Flyer at the Ames 40 x 80 foot subsonic wind tunnel in 1999. #wrightflyer #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

More wind tunnel for you with the DHC external augmentor V/STOL concept, that’s a different design idea… #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Check out the High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) in the 40x80ft wind tunnel in 1994 #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Check out the supersonic transport model mounted in the 40x80 foot wind tunnel in 1966. #sst #windtunnel #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is the installation of 1/3 scale model of Space Shuttle Orbiter into 40x80 foot Wind Tunnel. The speed range in the wind tunnel was variable from 0 to 300 knots. #windtunnel #spaceshuttle #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is a cutaway of the Lunar Module, there are two stages for the LM. #lunarmodule #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Artemis II is back in the VAB, the platforms that slide up to SLS give engineers safe access to work on the rocket. It is impressive when you look at every level that conforms to the vehicle. #artemisii #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

The view from the Lunar Module (LM) of the Command and Service Module (CSM) are seen preparing to rendezvous with the LM on Apollo 17, Dec. 1972. #apollo17 #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari

Here is a view of the Apollo 17 Command and Service Modules (CSM) photographed from the Lunar Module (LM) "Challenger" during rendezvous and docking maneuvers in lunar orbit, 14 Dec 1972. Note the exposed Scientific Instrument Module (SIM) Bay in Sector 1 of the Service Module (SM). Three experiments are carried in the SIM bay: S-209 lunar sounder, S-171 infrared scanning spectrometer, and the S-169 far-ultraviolet spectrometer. Also mounted in the SIM bay are the panoramic c
