My recollections are of a very different kind. I was on a Westabout to Hong Kong that transited McClellan/Hickam/Wake to Guam in the 3 days before the Launch and was taken aback at the exotic varieties of C-135 that were to be seen along the way - odd antenna protrusions on most, plus one with a droop nose. We gathered that they were NASA and USAF support aircraft for the Apollo flights and I'd not seen anything of the kind before then. Fascinating stuff at the time, I must say!
