a13_v_bw_o_n (unnumbered, USN photo, Lovell recovery)
Jim Lovell, as the Commander/Senior, is the last to leave Odyssey.
This was the last Apollo recovery mission for the iconic "Helicopter 66", which was sadly lost at sea in 1975. Her previous recoveries were for Apollo missions 8, 10, 11 and 12...not too shabby a line-up. The capsule-shaped decals representing each of those are discernible in this photograph...located under the side windshield, behind the "E".
Outstanding!
