Last year HARA got an unusual request from Levi's (yes, as in jeans) asking for vintage rocket stuff to use in their photoshoot for the coming season. A few club members were able to oblige and loan out some models they've kept from long ago, including our club NAR sponsor's 80's launch control box (still works, used it with TARC teams last weekend!).

The collection includes shots with stuff at the Space and Rocket Center, as well as kids with bikes and old pickups which some may find interesting, but the rockets are the main reason I thought it interesting to share

Cool, thx for sharing. The style of the photo set brings back tons of memories. Mostly in the form of TV commercials I saw as a kid.

Btw, did you notice the little "out of era" slip with the Northrop Hawk? (At least I think it's a Hawk)

*Raytheon Hawk missile

And no I didn't notice that little detail until I looked closer upon reading your comment. At first I was confused because the Hawk was introduced in 1960 and would be on-era, then I saw it
