Recent Photos of Thompson, OH GFA

These images confirm the GFA location as well as the ex-radar facility's current status ─ only the L-shaped concrete pad now remains, plus the three radar-tower foundations and some of the original chain-link fence along the south and west sides of the compound.

This former gap-filler radar annex is located inside the present-day Thompson Ledges Township Park on its south side.  A public trail passes right by the old radar site, but the radar site's remnants are almost impossible to see unless you are deliberately looking for it.  All that remain now are the concrete pad for the building, the three radar-tower foundations, and some of the chainlink fencing and posts.
