Martinez, I wasn't sure about the Gemini, even though I knew they had one on display. The X-15 was practically a spacecraft, and I'm sure it was pretty cramped inside it as well!<br /><br />Brian, thanks for the additional info. There is just something about those capsules from the early days of the space program that hold so much nostalgia.<br /><br />Tami, you have some great Fair photos!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-52204805840921521092012-05-08T10:40:40.223-07:002012-05-08T10:40:40.223-07:00Hello Major!

You can see there are two seats side by side (the second one off to the right), which isn't how they'd be arranged in any fighter jet I know of. There are a couple of good comparison diagrams here:<br /><br />http://ganymede.nmsu.edu/tharriso/gemini2_b.gif<br /><br />http://ganymede.nmsu.edu/tharriso/gemini3.gif<br /><br />The first one clearly shows the row of rivets/eyelets? along one side of the seat. The second one is relevant for its illustration of the Center Console with the ring, big knob and stick, which you can see in the photo.<br /><br />Great finds!Brian Fieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-86964282971798286892012-05-08T04:19:20.736-07:002012-05-08T04:19:20.736-07:00An apple grunt is a regional form of apple cobbler...An apple grunt is a regional form of apple cobbler.

If you look close, there’s another Gemini capsule displayed on the ground in front of it. <br /><br />In the second image it looks like the interior of a Gemini space capsule. Perhaps it's the one displayed in front of the Titan II.<br /><br />If you had wings, you could widen your world... The Eastern Airlines building looks like most nondescript tech buildings I used to work in. Not very interesting.K.
