My booth set at the nose of a vintage fighter. It was a very cool location to be at
Another view of my booth near the center of all the action. You can see the Richter Recker in the center, between the two tables.
There were dozens of vintage aircraft throughout the exhibit area.
Helicopters, jets and airplanes. Incredible!
A neat setup where the user lays down in a simulation of the Wright Brothers first plane and FLY it!
A close up of the screen the user sees as they fly. The software is design to accurately simulate the plane and its capabilities. Very cool stuff.
Up Aerospace booth. These are the folks who sent the ashes of Gene Roddenbury and Jimmy Doohan into space. On the right you can see a mockup of the rocket that took this journey.
Here is a close-up of their poster.
This is a model rocket of the lift vehicle that was licensed to Estes Industries.
A close-up of this model.
The highlight of the day (for me) was getting Winston Scott's autograph on my Rhino show kit. I had the opportunity to discuss education and rocketry with Winston Scott and it was a pleasure to meet him.
Here's a close-up of his autograph along with his two missions
Many man-in-space exhibits were to be found. This one sported much actual equipment used during the moon landing and other exciting early manned missions.
An actual Apollo back pack (stripped of its skins and protective covering.)
This is a close up of the labels on the exhibit
This gatling gun caught my attention seeing as it was right along side my booth.
A close up of the sign describing it.
Another view showing the track the ammo belts took.
