Was at Fortuna AFS (780th) ND and remember freezing mornings made better by SOS. I`m now on vacation and don`t know why I did this but did a computer search for SOS and have approx. 10 pages of SOS recipes from ARMY/NAVY of long ago to today plus misc. SOS recipes from hotels, etc. If there`s anybody out there sick enough to want these greasy but tantalizing stick-to-the-ribs recipes, let me know and you`ll get ALL of them!

Great new early pictures fron Rockville Iceland Operations. Great site!

GREAT SITE, I WAS AT 773RD IN 69,70. WORKED ON THE 6, 26

Just a quick re-visitation to see who has recently discovered the site. Hi to all those I knew. Cheers! -Skip

I finally recieved my Cold War Recognition Certificate. It took about 1 yr, but it wa worth it. I was in from 1-25-62 to 5-21-69. A scope dope,27350/A2c at 3392 Keesler AFB. 641st GooseBay,Lab. Sweetwater AFS,Texas. I m now in Las Vegas,Nevada. Want to retire soon and move to Montana or Wyoming. Thanx for this site, brings back warm memories, Ha

Was Radar operator in northern Japan in 1957 & 1958 Then Instructor in SAGE System at Kessler AFB in 1959 & 1960.I attend the 511th Group AC&W reuionj every year.

Just found out about this great site from JP (9-28-98). (If you don`t know him, he probably knows you). I`ve found several familiar names so far and it`s great to see most of them enjoyed a lot of success with their careers. My own included these duty stations: 701st(65-68),712th(68-69),792nd(69-75), 795th(75-76),82TCF(76-79),622TCF(79-82), 72TCF(82-84). As you can see, I had to earn my money the last few assignments.Radar maint use to be fun.(Before tenting and camping) See you down the road.

I was assigned to three ADC duty stations during my stay in the Air Force. I had two tours in the power plant of the Sioux City SAGE Center during the early 60s, a tour at 731 Radar Squardon in Sundance, Wy (currantly residing in the town of Sundance) as a member of the only operating Nuclear Power Plant assigned to the Air Force, and my final duty station at the Cheyene Mountain NORAD Complex where we supplied prime power for the hardened site. I enjoyed all of the duty and working with the techanical people assigned to the radar sections. The site here on Warren Peak has been put to use as a radio and microwave site for civilian use. The nuclear site is buried and fenced off pretty much the same way it was after we closed it and disposed of all major radioactive componts. It is still being monitored. The informational placard (solid cast brass) that was placed at the site at the time of closing was stolen and has been replaced with a with a sheetmetal, baked enamel placard. The fence and gate have been damaged and are in need of repair. I have made arrangements to get some of the pictures taken during the operational phase, along with some that I have in my personal collection that I will pass along to you as time and availability permit. I also have contact with one Rich Beltz of Finley AFS fame if anybody would like to contact him. Not sure of the squardon number at Finley. 785 I think. Haven`t looked over the site too much at this time, but like what I see. Keep up the good work. Cliff Coon. Sundance, Wyoming

Seeing this site brought back some great memorys. I lived in Unk from 1963 to 1967. We were with the Bureau of Indian affairs and my dad ran the physical plant for the two schools. I used to go up to the base for hair cuts, movies and to race slot cars. We homesteaded the old AF fish camp up on the North River, just down from the bridge. Great site.

A reunion is in the mill for anyone who was stationed at the 823rd AC&W squadron at Geiger Field or Mica Peak in Spokane, Washington. Contact me and I will put you in touch with the reunion planner.

Haven`t visited this site in some time. Hello to all I knew/know. Bill

Any radio troops from King or Galena pre-84 please drop a note, have several questions about equipment etc. at these sites!

Thirty eight years ago, I ventured in the orderly room of the 635th Radar Sqdn. at Ft. Lawton in Seattle to begin four years of boring, exciting life I`ve ever had. Wanted to go to Viet Nam, endced up at 932nd, AC&W Sqdn in Rockville, Iceland, always on the lookout for the Bears, found a few. Where do ya want to go from here?? Remote site, you can have your choice from here! Ok I said How about the Pacific Northwest?. for this boy from Detroit, Sure, Ft. Bragg, N.C. and the 728th TAC Control Sqdn.

Gene & Crew Just printed out some of the ADC Air Division maps you just added to the Museum. I`m including them in my scrapbook of duty stations. This site has got to be one of the best and most informative on the web. Thanks for the excellent work. Chris McWilliams

WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE WAFS THAT WERE IN AC&W OPS. WE HAD THEM IN THE 661st at SELFRIDGE? ( OK guys keep out the wise remarks) NONE HAVE SIGNED ANY ROSTERS THAT I CAN SEE.

Greetings, everyone. Just checking in. The website continues to be first-class, and I continue to very much appreciate all the hard work it represents. I am hoping that some more former 792nd troops will sign in on the guestbook and in the squadron roster. It is wonderful to get back in touch after so many years. Best wishes to all!

Linked to this site while researching the Site Lima 85 incident. Was a 30352 that served at 736th AC&W (Morocco), the 1989th Comm. Sqd. (with a FPS-8) and Det.1, 729th Tac Control (MPS-14). Eight years and never made a stateside AC&W. Last 3 years were focused with T-1 and T-2 simulators until a fire at the old McCoy AFB burned them up. Pleasure looking over this site. Remember CMS Richard Etchberger, KIA Laos 03/11/1968

Was Stationed at Blaine AFS 1958 to 1961,then TT2 1961-1963, and last Radar Site was Houma La. 1963-1967. I worked in the ANFST2B computer section. would enjoy hearing from anyone stationed at the above sites especially durinig the times I was there. Also if anyone has any of the old logic books or parts to the old data processor I would like to knos.

A truly great site. Talk about nostalgia!

Forgot to list the sites I was on: `55-59 Selfridge, MI; `59-`63 Rosas, Spain; `63-`65 Cut Bank, MT; `65-`66 Lewistown, MT; `66-`67 Trang Sup, Vietnam (Det 7, 619th TCS); `67-`69 5th TAC, Philippines; back to Trang Sup TDY in `68 to remove the radar; `69-`71 Silver Bay, MN; `71-`73 Point Arena, CA; `73-74 Tin City, AK; `74-`78; Ft. Meade, MD. Join the Air Force and see the world.

Assigned 762nd Radar Sq from 1955 to 1959 as a Personnel Sqecialist in the Orderly Room. It was really a great thrill to see pictures of my old friends in the Squadron. Would love to hear from any of you.

This is an updated email address.

Just finished checking outt the photos Gene put into site for the old 662nd in Brookfield OH.It was so sad to see the condition that now exists. You hit it right on the head with your choice of which buildings were which. Thanks a million for bringing back some wonderful memories. I used to show movies in that old rec room on occasions. Thanks again.

King Salmon AFS...Oct.1958-Oct.1959. A2c. 27350

Excellent site..A job well done to preserve the momory of those who served.

I was in the Air Force from 7/60 till 7/64. I served in the 2768th GEEIA squadron at Clark AFB in the PI. from 9/61 to 3/63 and during that time was assigned to help out the 848th AC&W Sqdrn on Lilly Hill at Clark. From 3/63 to 7/64 I was assigned to the 655th AC&W Sqdrn at Watertown, NY where I worked on the FPS-66 and FPS-27 Radars. I was there when the FPS-27 was installed. The Air Force provided the contractor with help on the installation due to a labor strike. My stint in GEEIA provided me with the experience to support this effort. Would like to hear from anyone who was at the 848th or GEEIA and the 655th during these times.

There is no way I could describe how thrilled I was to find Radomes, Inc. From January 1961 through December 71, I was a 273X0 with assignments at 778th Radar Sq, 640th AC&W, 669 Radar Sq, 5th Tac Cont Gp, Air Weapons Controller School, Tyndall, and Spacetrack, Tuslog Det 8, Turkey. I then cross trained into accounting and finance and completely lost track of my radar roots. For years I have been wanting to revisit these sites and you have allowed to do so and share it with my family. There is no way any of us could adequately thank you for all your efforts in setting up this website. I would like to encourage everyone who has ever been assigned to an AC&W or Radar Squadron to join the parent organization, Radomes, Inc. We all need to support this effort.
