Charleston AFS, ME Recent Photos

Now the Charleston Correctional Facility, the former cantonment area for the 765th RADS is now pictured at http://www.maine.gov/corrections/Facilities/ccf.htm. Several original Air Force buildings still stand, including what appear to be the barracks and the heating plant.

Located north-northwest of Bangor on ME Rte 15, west side, roughly 20 miles from Bangor.

The former radar / ops area of the 765th Radar Squadron and Det 6, 14th Missile Warning Squadron (looking west from Maine Rte 15). [The rest of the old station is a correctional facility, so no photography was allowed in that area. The family-housing area has now been entirely demolished, and a new juvenile correctional facility is currently being built in its former location.]
