The pictures are cool, as is the fact that NASA is using Flickr rather than spending gazillions building their own photo-sharing "solution." That gives me hope that maybe there are still a few living brain cells left in D.C.

That was when JPL (née GALCIT) was still doing propulsion.

Ahhh...but you don't understand.

They developed their own in-house photo sharing solution, then spent gazillions more to build a connector to copy those photos to Flickr.

Did they make a modified Cri-Cri as an air-drop mothership?

I'll be darned! The taildragger on the ground in the JATO Ercoupe is a Porterfield like mine. That's the first time I've come across a picture of one outside the Porterfield Club and my parent's collection.
