Recent Photos of Red Bluff AFS, CA


The four blocks in the foreground are the foundations for one of the two AN/FPS-6 height-finder radar towers. The other one stood by the Operations building to the left (north) of the AN/FPS-67B search radar tower that is still in use by the FAA. Compare to http://www.radomes.org/museum/photos/RedBluffAFSCA66-2.jpg -- the view is roughly the same. See also http://www.radomes.org/museum/photos/RedBluffAFSCAaerial.jpg.
