In honor of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing here are my own pictures from my trip to Cape Kennedy in January 1970.

In January 1970 I was a freshman at Case in Cleveland and first year cadet. The ROTC unit arraigned for a local reserve unit to fly us to Florida and for a “congressional level” tour of the facilities. The flight down was in a WWII DC-3 that was itself an adventure. I would describe the accommodations as “Luggage Class”. Flying low the DC-3 managed to find every bit of turbulence between Ohio and Florida. The bags we were issued were well used.

This is a map of the cape in the 1970s.
