[Milsurplus] Mercury Comms

[Gregory W. Moore]

GM to the group,
I wish I had, I never have been able to get any closer to a Mercury 
spacecraft than the Air and Space Museum. I really wish I could ONCE 
have been allowed to get up close and personal, or get to see some 
actual prints from that era.  Having worked in aerospace, I tried, even 
sweet talked McDonnell, when  they were still  McDonnell but got nowhere..

If anyone has had any luck, please let the list know..
