Below are stereo 3-D photographs of the "Glamorous Glennis" from image pairs I had taken while visiting the NASM prior to that evening's talk by Gen. Yeager.
Clicking on any of the images will pop up a stereo image pair in a new window that may be viewed using the "fused viewing" technique.
(Notice that in two of the image pairs below the vehicle underneath the blue tarp visible on the left hand side of the image is Burt Rutan's "SpaceShip 1" which was unveiled the following day.)
