information that you want to get.
I have one
other comment , though, as far as the stars are
concerned.
I think that probably we got as
good training with our stars during our night
flights as we got during the planetarium work.
I f eel that's true too.
You've got to go to
those planetariums to see all the stars in the
sky, but the night flying we did with our ttar
chart was probably the thing that really imbedded
the location of these stars in my mind.
I kept
looking at them night after night after night
after night , and when we flew I was convinced
t hat I could go up t here and find all those
stars that I needed t o find .
I think I had no
trouble at all finding them.
Yes .
We saw every one that was out a t night.
I think we saw them all .
I think we can come
back wit h good i dentification on them, and what­
ever informati on they want us to tell about
them,we can tell them.
That's right.
And where we didn't know the
exact name of a particular star in a constel­
lation,we could always tell which star it was in
