I'd like to find out if there are any patches available anywhere. 10/23/2012 00:00:00 Name: Vaughn Baker Thanks for establishing and maintaining this website. I greatly enjoyed my time in Crystal Springs, Ms at the 627 Radar Squadron. 10/22/2012 00:00:00 Name: Beamon Bryson I went to AC&W radar school at Keesler in 1960 graduated in Feb 1961. First assigned to 674 RADRON, Osceola AFS, WI. Made E-5 there and thwn went to the 708 AC&W SQ., Indian Mt. AFS, AK in Dec 1964, left in Dec 1965.

I was at the following. 10/13/2012 00:00:00 Name: Tom Page See http://www.mercurynews.com/scott-herhold/ci_21764133 for the latest on saving the old AN/FPS-24 radar tower at the former Almaden AFS atop Mt. Umunhum. The rest of this former AF Station has been razed (or is soon to be razed), but it now looks like there's a good chance the -24 tower itself will be spared. Stay tuned. 10/12/2012 00:00:00 Name: Tom Page See http://armandphotos.homestead.com/MDOhistory4.html for more information about the four airmen who died in an apparent tsunami at Middleton Island AFS in 1958. 10/11/2012 00:00:00 Name: Billy Brooks Hey, Vance. I, too, worked on Radars all through my working life. Mostly, if not all, on marine radar. Brand names were RCA, Sperry, Raytheon, Decca and Furino.....plus a couple whose name I can't remember. First time I worked on one, I asked my super where it was. He pointed at some little cabinet, but I said no, the radar. Long story short, it was the radar (Sperry if I remember correctly). The FPS20's modulator tube was larger than this entire radar: except the sail of course. 10/11/2012 00:00:00 Name: Ellie LaMay I hope in this museum you also remember my brother Airman William K. Crouch who died in the terrible tragedy at Middleton Island AFB on Feb 22,1958 along with Travis Robt.Downing, Frank Slaughter and James Rawlson.
