Cooper’s fighter jock self-esteem seemed to be like a PAR lamp. It was as if wherever he landed, the light shone ‘round about him, and that was the place to be.

I’m too mesmerized by this to come up with a decent caption...

He looks fantastic even just standing in a phone booth.

What we did today was to try to give our actors exposure to the real world of experimental flight test. It’s impressive when a production understands how important it is to get this kind of hands on exposure.

We gave ‘em a chance to put one of the anti-g suits on, strap in, close the canopy... several of the actors were able to put a helmet and an oxygen mask on, to help give them some insight into the life of a test pilot.
