F-1 engine by Static Test Tower.

Alan Lawrie has identified the F-1 engine as F-6090. This engine had been in environmental storage at the Michoud Assembly Facility in 1990. In September 2011, a team at Marshall disassembled this engine to learn how it operated and to become knowledgeable about large liquid oxygen/hydrocarbon engines so that they're prepared for future programs.
