Just wanted to mention that today is Jim's birthday.

He's a fine gentleman of impeccable skill and modesty. It was my pleasure to have met him.

I don't think he'd mind me sharing this photo of us. Also below is my Speedy and my Fisher Space Pen I've been taking notes with all week in preparation for my IA exam.

Happy birthday, Jim!

 

Thank you for sharing!! What were you both wearing on that pic?

Happy Birthday Captain Lovell!!

 

What's on Jim's wrist. GMT???

 

Rootbeer??

 

He's wearing his GMT, I'm wearing my Fortis as I had not yet acquired the speedy at the time.

We briefly discussed watches, but ended up talking (among other things) about flying.

Had dinner and a beer even. Was a great time!

 

That’s pretty freaking cool, dude.

Also, do ridiculously well on your IA exam!

 

For laymen like like me, what does “IA” mean? Inspection Authorization (of aircrafts)?

 

As always wearing his watch at the righthand wrist !
James Lovell"s birthday, and those of Borman and Mattingly, were also mentioned here:

'cause he's left handed.

 

Correct!

 

Thanks Mad Dog!

I'm shooting for that 100%

 

Good luck!!!!

 

Well I managed to miss just one question for a 98%. You have no idea how much that's wearing on me
