That's an interesting G-1, to say the least. 
Do you know the history of this particular G-1?

Yup. That rocks. Might be my favorite jacket I've seem here, and it's filled with awesome jackets!
The Great Race
I would also rate that as the coolest jacket on the longue! You were real lucky to be part of the Apollo program! I have a friend who worked on the LEM simulator, he used to say it was nothing, I told him that 99.9999% of us just watched the Apollo program on TV. So just like you, it was a big deal to even play a small part in the Greatest Race of all times, I wish I could say I did!
