Wrote to Edwards AFB years back and received the following:

The observer's station caption read "front engineering observer's station
located just behind pilot."

The cockpit panel caption read, "Cockpit panel (showing some test equipment)".

What do you think "1# 8 1/2 ozs." refers to?

The amount of illegale drugs needed to go in that thing.

 

[special ed]

The observers newborn baby.

Looks like 14 1/2 oz to the right...
