Jerrie Mock Google Earth Flight at The Works Museum · · PAGE 20.
June 18, 2016: I was distracted while at the
exhibit upstairs and had to get back down to the meeting room as I was few minutes late
for my 10 AM scheduled start time. There were a number of folks who were interested
in how I created the Google Earth flight for Jerrie Mock. Here is a cell phone photo
taken during my presention of how to use Google Earth to get close-up views during any of
the Jerrie Mock flights. The image projected in the photo below is from my 15-minute
movie I made using Google Earth Pro. The movie was made for the exhibit dedicatiion
day use. I answered questions and demonstrated the night arrival back at Columbus
while streaming online images from Google Earth.
This image was taken by Ruth Jacobs showing the first day landing at Bermuda
from my movie.
Upstairs some people were getting into the airplane to get the feel of how much
space Jerrie had on her long trip. I want to point out Jerrie was barely five feet
tall.
This globe has the route depicted with a sign below with names of each
overnight stop along the route.
Here is a close-up view of the globe.
And here is the sign after I removed some reflections from the overhead lights.
The background image on the sign was from the day Jerrie went supersonic with the
US Air Force.
That black and white photo stand is the real height of Jerrie Mock. I
mentioned before the airplane is on a steel mount that makes it higher than it would be on
its real landing gear.
The man talking to Chris is Art Weiner, a former US Air Force officer who
created the flight plans for Jerrie's flights around the world in 1964. He was 30
years old at that time.
Art attended my presentation and answered some questions for me. This
cell phone image and similar ones above were provided by Ruth Jacobs.
Here is my photo of Art Weiner taken at the same time as those from Ruth seen
above. He was telling us stories of his time in the US Air Force over his 30-year
military career.
