Description
In 1969 I was an AF 2nd Lt assigned to Hickam AFB when the Apollo 11 crew was picked up at sea by the USS Hornet and taken to Pearl Harbor. From Pearl Harbor, their chamber was taken to Hickam AFB on a rail car. I watched President Nixon get off Air Force 1 and immediately went over to the railroad tracks where I suspected the astronauts would appear. I was the only one there and was able to get this shot. Michael Collins was in the window returning my salute. A couple of hours later, the president addressed them also through the window.
