Mercury Boilerplate "Adios MF"

The museum displays a Mercury boilerplate, apparently used for parachute drop tests. It is identified as boilerplate F-6.

The boilerplate does sport a more memorable moniker, "Adios MF" (the "MF", no doubt, refers to Max Faget, spacecraft designer, who holds the patent on the Mercury spacecraft :-)
