I was just visiting the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio
walking through the exhibits really demonstrated all the bravery and daring of these aviation pioneers.
Wally Schirra will always be one of the bravest. Now I undersand why the flag was at half staff.
Thanks for letting us know,
Mike
Some sad news: Wally Schirra 1923~2007 A true HERO in every sense...
I was saddened, and frankly a little shocked, to have learned today via an IM from Keith Downing of the passing of Wally Schirra at the age of 84. Wally was the only astronaut to have flown on all of the first three NASA programs in Space: Mercury, Gemini...
very sad; I was going to bring my daughter to meet him when he was in LA for
Hour Vision presentation, but had conflicting commitments. A sad passing of living history... TM
