Description A ground crew assists Joe Kittinger in removing his fight gear after the successful flight of Excelsior III. The entire jump took somewhat under 13 minutes, with most of that time spent under the canopy after the main parachute opened. The modified MC-3A partial-pressure suit performed as expected except for a failed glove. Despite the appearances, Kittinger was fine.
