A family friend (since 1970) who was a big famous Naval Aviator and a USN Captain worked on putting together the Navy's 'Cold War Gallery' at the Washington Navy Yard. He hired a professional model builder to make scale models of famous navy planes flown over the years. He was also an acquaintance of Neil Armstrong and he took this picture of Neil a year before his death. He's holding an F9F Panther model -- it is the same markings as the one he flew in the Korean War. I think it's a great shot.
