I served in the Air Force at the 750th Radar SQ at Boron AFS California for 2 and a half years from 1966-1968 time frame. This sure brings back a lot of old memories. I reconized two names on the personell roster from the 750th. The photo take looking up the road from the highway reminds me of the time I walked down the road to hitchhike home to the Los Angeles area so many times during my stay there. It`s interesting that the place has been turned into a prison. Some of us used to think it already was. Jerry Long 07/26/2001 00:00:00 Name: Danny B.

From 1974-77, my family was stationed at Bucks Harbor AFS (SAGE), Maine. With your site, I was able to see what became of that very special place (I was age five thru eight at that time). Nonetheless, radar must have gotten into my blood. I was stationed at Thule, Greenland (BMEWS) from June 97-June 98. Theres something about remote radar locations that make them special. Hopefully, one day (God willing) I`ll have an opportunity to command the Clear squadron (knock on wood!). Best wishes, Capt Billy Wade, USAF, Cape Canaveral AFS, FL. |
