Are there any pictures available from John Young in his office as a chief astronaut?

In terms of his office specifically, not sure. To see him in action, I'd check the crew walk out photos for STS-2 through STS-7. As Office Chief, he escorted the crew and can be seen. |

The BBC documentary "John Young: The Ultimate Explorer" from 1982 shows John in an office (I don't know if this was his office but I am guessing it was) being interviewed for the programme. A video still from that programme could help you? |

Young is also visible in the role of chief astronaut during the sad ceremony where the remains of the Challenger astronauts are being transferred. That had to be one of the most difficult duties a chief astronaut has ever had to perform.As for a photo of his office, I've seen very few photos of ANY astronaut's office. Either the offices are not of interest to the official photographers...or they may be mostly considered private. |

Thanks for this pic! Indeed, photos of astronauts in their offices are hard to find. I would like to see more pics of them behind their desks. |

Here's Jon McBride behind his desk. Author and friend Rick Houston is in the foreground. And here's the view Jon has looking forward from his desk:  |

No. Slayton's office, as director of flight crew operations, was in a different building — #9, I believe, JSC HQ. The astronaut office was Building #4. |

Not mine, but here's Steve Hawley at his office, circa 1995. |
