May, 2003 photos by Tom Page

This photo shows the old SAGE Direction Center blockhouse as viewed from the parking area in front of (east of) the older manual AC&W Ops building. [looking northwest]

This is a view of the SAGE DC building from across the road to the east. [looking west]

This photo shows both the older air-defense sector manual Ops building on the right and the SAGE Direction Center blockhouse in the distance to the left. [looking north]

This final photo shows what we believe to be the GATR site for SAGE operations at Richards-Gebaur AFB. This building, located on the far south part of the former base, was probably originally the transmitter facility for the Ground/Air/Ground radio pair, then converted to a GATR facility with the addition of TDDL. [A similar building (not photographed), probably the receiver radio facility, was observed north of the SAGE DC blockhouse, heavily overgrown with foliage.] After SAGE operations ceased here, the GATR site was designated as site R-8. [looking south]

What appears to be the old manual AC&W control center is seen on the hill immediately to the left of the SAGE DC blockhouse and above the power plant (the alignment agrees with the aerial images).
