“[At the funeral] four jets roared into view, flying low and fast, wingtip to wingtip. As the foursome approached the cemetery one of the planes pulled up and away from the others–the traditional missing-man formation, which left an empty slot where the fourth plane should be. As the jets disappeared, a volley of rifle shots cracked, followed by the painful notes of taps played by a lone bugler.”

“After the services at Arlington colleagues gathered at the Georgetown Inn for a drink before returning to Houston and Florida. Paul Haney [NASA public information director] recalls that ‘it was the only time I ever saw Al Shepard cry. ‘I hate those empty-slot flyovers,’ Shepard said, brushing tears from his eyes. He couldn’t bring himself to admit that it was Gus he missed.’”
