Recent Photos of Lake Charles AFS, LA

For AC&W Radar Site TM-194, the original Operations Building and the Power Plant are still extant on the west end of the site, and the original HQ Building is still extant near the site entrance. A private residence occupies the site of the original GAG Radio facility, later Gap-Filler Annex (M-125D), on the east end of the site.

Nothing visible remains of the site's second incarnation, Z-248 / J-14.

May 2001 photos and notes contributed by Tom Page

The former radar installation, as viewed from McNeese Road. All radar towers have now been removed.

They are from my second (last) visit to Lake Charles. Note the radar is gone, and tower materials are stacked near the foundation awaiting removal.
