Signed envelope commemorating the wind tunnel test of the space

Commemorative Envelope signed: "Jim Adamson", 6½x3½ Envelope
with a rubber-stamped cachet honoring the SSV wind tunnel testing at Ames
Research Center, postmarked Moffett Field, California, August 24, 1978, US "A"
postage stamp affixed. James Adamson (b. 1946), graduated from West Point in
1969, after leading the Academy's pistol team to the national championship.
He earned an M. S. in aeronautical engineering from Princeton in 1977. As
fighter pilot in Vietnam, he earned many awards, including two
Distinguished Service Crosses. He joined NASA as a test pilot and
aerodynamics officer during the test phase of the space shuttle, hence his
association with the wind tunnel test. He spent 334 hours in space on two
shuttle missions: STS-28 (Columbia), a 5-day classified mission in
1988; and STS-43 (Atlantis), which set a new record for payload boosted
into orbit in 1991. After performing important research and administrative
duties for NASA, he moved to the private sector in 1992, where his posts
included President and CEO of Lockheed (1994) and Chief Operating Officer
of the United Space Alliance (a Lockheed - Rockwell consortium contracted to
NASA) in 1995. Pencil note (unknown hand) on verso. Fine condition.
