We did the S-5 Experiment together and that was
the best series of pictures we got on the whole
flight. It was really fabulous .
We got good
pictures both for the S-5 and S-6 on this one.
They should really come out good.
I did the Apollo Landmark Area No . 4.
I did the
tracking task with it at 19 16 42 on El Paso,
and it turned out pretty well.
We tried to make
a tracking pass on El Paso International Airport,
and we never even saw El Paso.
This was a very big surprise to both of us because
we though we ' d nail that one cold.
That's right.
We've been in and out of there so
often, you lmow, it's just like another home base.
Which leads to one of your conclusions, which is-­
You can' t have targets out in the middle of a
land mass .
They've got to be near a body of water.
You need something to identify the landmark.
There are some beautiful topographical features
near El Paso .
There' s a range of mountains just
to the west that show up and the white sands are
out there to the west--Shoot! We never saw any­
thing.
I think I saw El Paso when we were right
