Thank you Steeley, as always, for posting. My uncle flew in Korea for the Navy around the same time as NA. He remained a pilot all his life, and quite a few years later introduced me to Neil Armstrong. I don't remember the year, but it would have been after the x-15 flights, but before the Space program got serious.
 
I stand corrected 11

WOW Neal your dad was a fighter pilot and you meet Armstrong too cool.
 
Not quite as close as that Steeley....It was my uncle, who was a bomber pilot. But yeah....I met Armstrong when I was very young. My uncle was out of the Navy at that point...flying corporate and doing airshows on the side, plus racing when he could afford it.
 
Apollo was a much taller vehicle than the shuttle. When the launch pad was modified for shuttle, they chopped the top off and put the pieces in a field.
