Gene, I have initiated contact with you at your individual e-mail address, so will continue along that line. Excellent work at this site. Charlie

Enjoying the web page very much. Looking for personel who were in the 692 in 1961 and 1962

I am a one-time member of the 661st Radar Squadron, Selfridge ANGB, Mich., and 622 Tactical Control Flight, Bad Krueznach, Germany. What a time!

Pete Opitz. I tried to contact you using the e-mail address left here but it came back undeliverable. Please contact me regarding Cape Newenham. Tom Wikoff. Cape Newenham 74~75.

Glad to see another 661st AC&W type(Gary Jacobs)check in. I was there from Oct 1953-Nov 1956 with reserve tours in 57 and 58. Hope more are out there. Great site.

I served at the 748th AC&W Squadron from approximately Jan 65 - Jan 66. Worked on FPS-6 Height Finder Radar while there, matter of fact I was the only one on the Height Finder at that time.

On previous note, did not mention that the 748th was at Kotzebue, Alaska.

I would love to hear from any of the former 615th AC&W SQDRN Members that were stationed at Preum, Germany from 1953 through 1956.

Great site. The pictures of Fortuna, St Albans and Dauphin Island brought back memories of my time at those sites. This site along with the Pinetree and DEW Line site have filled me in on my tour with the Air Force.

Fantastic! Ive been wondering where we went. Would love to hear from anyone reading this who was stationed at Cape Newenham AFS, Alaska especially during the period Feb. 1974 to Jan. 1975. Thanks for the forum Greg.

Oh my aching butt, do I ever remember those 3 hour PACE flights in the T-33. Those were great days. Great site. Keep up the work.

Genes site just keep getting better and better! Be sure to add your name to the site(s) you were at. This is a great new feature. Any ol Fortuna troops out there, be sure to sign up!

Stationed at the 639th, 640th, 654th, 764th, 765th, and 782nd AC&W Squadrons (not in that order), 1958 - 1978. Wow, what a site! Keep up the good work, and as soon as I get all my pics and slides together, Ill scan them and send them along as time and bandwith allows.

GOOD STUFF, I MET A LOT OF GREAT PEOPLE IN MY 276/1C5 CAREER, ILL REMEMBER YOU ALL. DULUTH, TATALINA, TYNDALL, HESS OLDENDORF, GRIFFISS, MCHORD

Looking for people who may have known my father Arnold Gilman stationed on Texas tower 2 Georges Shoals 1956 to 1957. My Dad has no email but can be contacted via my email

I was stationed at the 790th AC&W site near Kirksville Mo 1955-56...916th AC&W at Beausejour Manitoba Canada 1956-57....792nd AC&W at Charleston SC 1957-58. Any reunions on these?

I am trying to locate members that served aboard the Texas Towers. I am going to try to put together a reunion. Thanks Ken

As I mentioned in my e-mail, I was commander of Cape Lisburne, AK, 1973-74. I have a squadron emblem patch that you may borrow to scan. Where should I send it? Lisburne was, as was probably true of most Alaska sites, more like a small base in that we had most of a bases facilities: airfield, supply, motor pool, administration, ops, maintainence, chow hall, etc. As I read your info, Lisburne appears to still be open, but manned by a small cadre of civilians and as I understand the text, the data is transferred without manned itervention to some central monitoring center, probably at Elmendorf. Is this a correct assessment?

This morning, our company arranged to have Captain Edward Davis (USN retired) speak to our veteran employees in honor of Veterans Day. This man, a POW in Viet Nam for 7-1/2 years thanked us! Its the 1st time in 33 years anyone ever thanked me for serving my country. For those who served as I did, in non-combat AC&W sites (Fortuna AFS & Melville, Labrador) it was quite an uplifting experience. His message? Talk to young people and tell them freedom is not free...the price is constant vigilance. True then & true today! Happy Veterans Day.

Outstanding web site. Takes some of the sting away from the AF museum not having any exhibts concerning AC&W cold war operations. And can you believe the AF is still operating Alaskan radars?

Was stationed at K.I. Sawyer, Truax Fld, Campion AFS, P-Y-Do and 12 years in AWACS. Lifetime 17xx. great site brings back old memories

Tatalina 68-69. Elec pwr pdn spec. I wonder what it looks like now?

Greatwebsite that brings back a bunch of memories. Enjoyed AF tours at GRADS DC/Malmstrom AFB, Havre AFS, Klamath AFS, HQ ADC, HQ AAC, ESD/OLAA (Elmendorf AFB) working with the AK ROCC & SEEK IGLOO (AN/FPS-117) Programs, and finally, as a civilian, on the North Warning System Program in the US and Canada.

I was a Westinghouse RADAR technician at Crystal Springs AFS, Klamath AFS, and Miles City AFS. Youre doing a great job. Hope I can contibute some items soon. See you, Robert R.

I was stationed at 615th AC&W Sq at Pruem, Germany 1956-1959, and again but it was either Det0100 or Det0600 or both 1961-1964. I was also at TACC North, Hq 7th AF, Saigon Vietnam 1966-67. 20th NORAD Region at Fort Lee Virginia 1967-1971. I was also in SAGE at Truax Field, Wisconsin and Fort Custer, Battle Creek, Michigan. I retired at Tyndall AFB, Fl. I also spent a couple of years in the space business.

Thanks for the memories. I was at Point Arena AFS 776th AC&W site from 1965-68.

I was a computer maintenance technician (SAGE)at Adair AFS, Oregon from 1964-66 and at Chyenne Mt (NORAD)from 1966-1969. I am gathering material for a SAGE web site. This site is a great resource.

I arrived at Saglek AFS (924 AC&W Sq.) at Saglek Bay Labrador during July 1963, and I left in late June of the following year, 1964. I was an E3 with a 29150 technical skill rating, a Communications Center Specialist. I was the guy you dialed up at the switchboard when you wanted to try placing a phone call to your loved ones back home in the states. I was the guy who kept his lips zipped. I came direct from Westover AFB (SAC) after serving 28 months with the 18th Communications Sq., and at 8th Air Force Headquarters at Westover. While the change from Westover to Saglek was great, it was also pleasant. I enjoyed the tour greatly. I still have my Polar Bear Squadron emblem even now. Not only did I work in the Comm Center at Saglek, I also managed the AFRTS radio station at Saglek (Radio KSAG), with my own radio show, too. I also managed the base photo lab, serving as the Squadron Photographer. Much like my commanger, Col. Cyril Hanko, I produced quite a few photographs of past history, too. It was interesting duty, indeed. The lights never flickered, the heat never failed. I never met any conflict at all. I just stayed busy the entire tour. Yet I had some losing moments in front of the one armed bandits, the slot machines, in the Airmens Club. I even celebrated my 21st birthday at Saglek, with a bottle of champagne with my friends and military colleagues. Maybe just as good, the food at Saglek was outstanding. When I look back now, its remarkable how well we were able to eat while we were there. My saddest day at Saglek was when news of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy came over the short-wave and teletype during November of 1963. The happy day of my tour at Saglek was when I was awarded Airmen of the Month, even happier when I was finally able to pin on my short-timers ribbon. After leaving Saglek during June 1964, I was transferred to another ADC station, this one named Chandler AFS (787 AC&W Sq.) in Chandler Minnesota. And to my surprise, it was much like Saglek in its configuration, and the weather was just as cold that year, too. Yet like too many others who left Saglek and Chandler, I left them behind until many years later. That brings me to the present, and Im just happy that I can share my thoughts with a few other veterans who share this page today. Some of those very same veterans who served at Saglek and Chandler the very same time as I did. Those of you who were there before me, and those who followed, I share your pride even now that we were all able to endure a challenging yet satisfying experience. We performed an outstanding service for our country, too. Did it make us a better person? Absolutely! If yous like to share a few of your own thoughts with me, Ill certainly reply to your email soon.
