Yah...hadn't checked in here in a looong time either. Busy doin' the USAF's business

Good luck in AFROTC, Spyder. Don't let Field Trianing get you down...it's only 4 weeks.

I remember seeing Hail Columbia, To Fly (I think that's the one....the one with the guys who do the acrobatics in the bi-plane) and The Dream is Alive (my all time favorite IMAX movie) when I was at camp. I'm with gt0163...those are the three I remember best throughout all of my sessions in the lat...

I'm 33, a Major in the USAF, with 2 kids....and don't feel a day over 25

(Although my waistline tends to argue with my youthful spirit on a regular basis )

Were they supposed to always do shirts for Level II? For some reason I didn't get one @ L2 in '90...still have all my others, though.

Cool! I should really sit down and talk with some of you "old timers" sometime about how the place used to be. You might get depressed, so I don't know if that's such a good idea. ;) Define "old timers"....do I count? I'm only 33... :-) Seriously, let me know if you'd like me to...

Well...at least we can celebrate the fact that our own monkeynautt will be presenting with Shatner himself..

Otherwise, I'll keep my comments to myself.

Awesome video Laura! Congratulations...you deserve it!

Does anybody remember a counselor or manager @ AC named Mike Martin? I came across his name in an old brochure...which brought back memories. In 1990, he had just left the USN (LCDR maybe?) and been hired on to start AC. He was our lead flight instructor that June and taught us ACM. Is he still ther...

Glad to be of service...it's been fun pulling these out and scanning them. Some I hadn't seen in a long time. 1987's now posted...lots of shots in the Bubble!

Wow! Those pics brought back lots of memories! Especially the '89 pics since that's when I was there, staying in the new Hab. Thanks for sharing! Thanks Hotdog. Your photos confirmed some of mine--the ones I have from '89 that say 'MSFC?' are clearly the same thing as yours (much better IMHO), for ...

We slept in the Training Center Dorms in '88 and '89--the Hab was about finished by the end of April '89, but nobody was residing there yet. Regards! Correction to the statement--I scanned in my negatives from '88 (40+) and some of '89. At the end of my '89 roll were several photos that had NEVER b...

Does anybody know how many have signed up (so far) for the Alumni Parent/Child weekend in August? I haven't done so yet, but will be within a week or so... thx.

Anybody else remember sleeping in the basement of the bubble? I have to dig out my pics and post 'em. Good stuff! Yes...you have to dig out your pictures and post them! :D Finally dug out my stuff during my last weeks' visit to the East Coast homestead--all my certificates, photos, books, etc. Will...

...and let's not forget that 'gem' of the '80s and TopGun colleague (well not really).....IRON EAGLE!

"Dad...can the Maverick fire while we're still on the ground?.."

....Stonehenge was meant to be Space Camp England... ...the rest of his team were Incan astronomers... ...he flew into the 'OLD' Huntsville airport, downtown. Orville Wright was the pilot. He got to double as passenger AND copilot. ...his flight suit patch had a V-2 rocket on it....and the words &q...

I agree i prefer the first book as well and man its neat to see camp as it looked before the current training center. Looks to be circa 1985 or 86 i beieve it was published in 86 though but the photos are definately earlier. I have read both i got the second one from the library a couple of times a...

Thanks hotdog. that brought back alot of memories. Man i miss that place sometimes even though the current visitor center is alot bigger and fancier. I too have an old Life magazing featuring space camp in it from the mid 80s things definately look diffrent. One opictrure i always see and think boy...

Thanks LB206....great to see those shots of the VA Air+Space Center down there off of Mercury Blvd. I haven't been in there during my last few TDYs to LAFB, but did manage to stop in during a TDY in 2000. Will have to visit again my next LAFB TDY (they've been coming frequently lately...)

In 1987-88 the training center extension of the Space & Rocket Center was finished and all of the shuttle sims and other training equipment moved in there. In 1988 they started building the hab we all know now. 1989 was when both Habs -both 1 and 2- first opened. The underground rooms/sleep bay...
