heng44 Member Posts: 3387 From: Netherlands Registered: Nov 2001	posted 01-21-2012 02:48 AM The Apollo 15 crew is photographed at Patrick AFB on June 10, 1971, after flying a record number of 125 weightless parabolas in the KC-135 airplane behind them. On similar flights the numbers ranged from 60-80. Al Worden is holding a banner stating 125 parabolas were flown. He is flanked by Dave Scott on the left and Jim Irwin on the right. At far left is pilot Oleg Komarnitsky (1938-2010). His son Alek provided the photo. Ed Hengeveld
