A few years back there was a book out called The Space Shuttle Operator's Manual. It was full of general procedures, checklists, and diagrams of the forward flight deck controls. It was revised following Challenger to include the new escape procedures. I have been looking for this revised edition for the last few months; I wonder if it is out of print... Anyway, its a great book if you can find it. -- The opinions expressed by Mr. Bishop should not be construed to be those of the United States government, the U. S. Air Force, or any other agency.

Assuming it is the same publisher, you might try contacting Ballantine Books directly to see if it is still in print or where you could find it. (My edition) Library of Congress Catalog # 82-90220 ISBN 0-345-33103-6 (Paperback) ISBN 0-345-30751-8 (Hardcover) Sorry I don't have the address of Ballantine. They are somewhere in NYC, NY. ______________________ Fred Sabernick fcs@hdw.csd.harris.com

Interesting, but fundamental.
