We visited the Niagara Aerospace Museum to visit our friend Paul Faltyn and to get a chance to see the Lunar Lander Simulator.
[About the Simulator: In the mid 1960’s the U.S space program realized that there was a need for a way to train Astronauts to land on the Moon. NASA, with no funds available and time running out, went to industry for help. Bell Aerospace offered to begin the program immediately with company funds. The result was the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle which was a great success. The pilot of the first Moon landing, Neil Armstrong, stated that the moon landing would have been a ‘crash landing’ without his LLTV flight training.]
Paul and his son John give us a peek at the Simulator and also a brief tour of the Museum on the video here:
