I just went back and looked at my other pictures and you're right....it doesn't look like we could sep the experiment package from the ring in that configuration! Ah, the good old days....I still have a little cardboard IPS on my office bookshelf that I made to help me understand the gimbal system - maybe I should donate it to the museum someday!

When Paul and Louise were at the museum, Louise called me to clarify what airplane I had wanted pictures of (Lockheed 8 Sirius, which apparently isn't there). When she started talking about Udvar Hazey, I thought she was talking about the weather. I like the term so much I think I'll start using it myself.

Today in Carlsbad it is udvar drizzly and cool.

Larry,

The Lindberg Sirius is at the downtown venue. Although I was there a couple weeks ago, I didn't get to that spot as I became overwhelmed by the August crowds (LOTS of European, Asian, and Middle Eastern visitors in addition to the usual U.S. tourists). I'll get back there soon and get that photo. World-class, free sites like the Smithsonian museums are a fine compensation for putting up with living in D.C.!
