1994, Norman Thagard and Bonnie Dunbar started training at Star City, Moscow. Bonnie Dunbar often wore the Sokol suit of Yelena Kondakova.

Have seen a photo of Thagard and Dunbar training in Russian spacesuits. Dunbar is wearing Kondakova's suit. Thagard might be wearing Alexander Viktorenko's suit.

There is an undated photo here of Walt Cunningham showing what looks like Sylvester's A7L suit at an ILC Dover press conference.

I remember seeing a 1969 photo of Dr von Braun wearing a Gemini space suit and going into a pool in order to be convinced that the NBL Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory water tank would be of great benefit.
