“Excellent & rarely seen view of SA-500F Facilities Verification Vehicle stacking of the S-IVB stage, in the Transfer Aisle (I think) of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), Kennedy Space Center. Two of the four areas of the SA-500F’s distinctive paint pattern are on display, comprised of the alternating black & white pattern of the forward skirt and the circumferential black (with white ‘cut-outs’) of the aft skirt. The latter being the most noticeable, even from a distance, due to its proximity to the kinda, sorta, semi- alternating, partially bi-level black & white scheme of the S-IVB aft interstage.
Additionally. Absolutely wonderful:
