A 4-minute video of the demolition is linked from http://www.kusi.com/story/13944194/a-long-time-coming. While environmental clean-up no doubt is warranted, it's still sad to see another one of our old AC&W and missile-warning radar stations wiped away. The FAA joint-use ARSR-4 radar, of course, will continue to operate on the mountain top. All else is being cleared away. [Thanks go to Ron Plante for bringing this story to our attention.] 02/11/2011 00:00:00 Name: william osmun i WAS WITH THE 552ND AT MCCLELLANIN1955-57 AND 1965-1971. 02/10/2011 00:00:00 Name: Cliff Bays Would like to hear from anyone watching this guest book who was at 660th at MacDill between Oct 65 and Sept 68? 02/10/2011 00:00:00 Name: james snyder I was in germany from 1957-60 Iwas with 807-tac sq and worked in the C.O.C at the so called cave.we did not get into the cave until 58 and was in tents outside the cave in the dead of winter . a/c-2 james snyde 02/10/2011 00:00:00 Name: alphonse fernandez so glad i found your site i was station at756th radar squadron finland minn. from 1957-1958.then trans. to wilmar minn 721st radar sqd until i was dischagge in 1960. will try to find some photos and post them if can.sure wish i had some of my patches from my old squardron.i printed out some of these photos. even my old chevy. except my was blue and white thanks sure wish i knew where my fellow pals are now. before i trans. to minn. i was in alaska out seide of nome. st lawrence island the cape 02/08/2011 00:00:00 Name: Richard DuKate i was at othello in 1951 to 1953 and at puntzi canada in 1954. anyone remember me please contact 02/08/2011 00:00:00 Name: Jerry w, dies I was stationed with the 4629th Support Sqdn (SAGE) at the time you stated. 02/08/2011 00:00:00 Name: Lanny Putnam For John Dunseith: It is possible that your father worked on the towers at Cutler, Maine Navy Base.
