Nice photos. Lots of work yet to do on Flak Bait

Anyone know what Mercury capsule that is, and the Gemini? And what they're doing with 'em? -Thanks!

Would suggest that these are the Gemini IV and Mercury (Glenn) capules that were in the main entrance to the main mall museum since the mall opening in the 1970's. Milestones of flight gallery. There have been several moves in this gallery recently for a much needed refresh. Boeing coughed up a very generous donation. Perhaps a temporary move while work is done in the main gallery?

You can just make out "Friendship" on the side of the Mercury capsule. So that would be Glenn's.
