That was after I retired.

The mission was most likely flown out of Diego Garcia.

Too bad they didn't include the tail number. ☹
Yep, absolutely. I have some flightline pictures still somewhere. I was there when a Bone had to ditch in the ocean. That wasn't a good day 😕

I had my hands on a Mercury space capsule once, at the surplus and scrap metal yard. It was discarded by NASA. I had no place to store it, they were going to sell it to me for $100 or so. It was 6'-7' wide, and rocking it, it was fantastically light. Probably worth a couple of million by now. No wires, totally stripped out, but it was the real thing. A piece of history, probably got melted down into aluminum wheels.
