General Dynamics Convair LEM mockup cockpit, San Diego Aerospace Museum, 1976.
Back in 1976 when I was 11 years old, my father helped me get permission to go inside the Convair LEM mockup which used to be at the old San Diego Aerospace Museum. That original museum burned down in 1978, with the loss of the museum's valuable collection of aircraft and artifacts. The mockup was built as part of Convair's losing 1962 Apollo Lunar Excursion Module proposal. It was later donated to the museum. In one photo you can see my old jeans! I took the photos with a crappy camera with flash cubes.
