nice site keep up the good work

When I signed up in 1955 there were still a few enlisted weapons controllers around, but they were being phased out as soon as `brown bars` became available.

Interesting to find out that enlisted people are now weapons controllers, back in the 50s early 60s had to be commision officer, all we could get to do was Intercept Control Tech.(ICT)anyone out there remember that? of course plotting board, search scope, heightfinder, and of course wash/wax floor on mid-8am shift, clean heads etc.

Cecile Wehrman from the Crosby Journal did a fantastic job in seeing the 50th anniversary of Fortuna AFS published. You can still order a copy from the Journal. It`s only $5 and is worth every penny! Lots of memories, stories, pictures and articles about radar and the Cold War in general. Here`s the Crosby Journal website: http://www.crosbynd.com/journal/

Still looking to find Jim Morin. Stationed at the 655th Radar Sq, Watertown AFS, NY in the mid 70`s

I was stationed at the 656 Saratoga Springs from Sep 68 thru Jun 70 as a radar repairman 30352. I recently visited the site only to find that it is abandoned and vandalized. I live about 20 miles from the Benton, PA site that was converted to a job corp facility. Something like that would have been nice to return to instead of what is there today.

I grew up by the fortuna air base, saw an article written about the base and visited your site.

789th Omaha AFS `Idaho control` 1957 708th Indian Mt. `Esther control` 1958 Great fun looking at pictures, great site.

E-mail me if you remember Campion AFS, 1976 to the final Hail & Farewell. I would love to communicate with you. I can even give you Tom T.`s E, if you drop me a note.

Stationed @ King Salmon in 1973, Fortuna 74-76, and Mt Hebo 76-79. Would like to hear from anyone (especially scope dopes) That were stationed with me. Thanks: Travis

Have enjoyed seeing this site. Was assigned to the 636th at Condon, Or. back in 53-54 as a radio operator. In 73 I did audits of the clubs at several in the 25th Air Division in Wash & Ore.

Great web site!! Been here at Elmendorf for 6 yrs. with a one yr to Osan in the middle. Outstanding historical pixs of all the radar sites. As a weapons controller I`d sure like to hear some stories of a typical `intercept` day. Once again, long live the history of what we have become! Cheers, Hummer

Now living in Texas, originally from Oregon and was stationed at 2 Oregon AC&W sites plus Okinawa (Det 3), Newfoundland and Cambria Ca.

My dad, Gary Jardee, was stationed at Fortuna ND from 76-78. I still live in the area. Would like to hear from any other AF families there at the time, who may remember us. My mom was known to all as Miss Lee. She taught ceramics at the time. Would love to hear from you.The journal in Crosby has run an article about the airbase. Thanks

Thanks for the help in getting to the Radarpages. It was answered by no less than 14 people. Guess I have been leaving off the http// and www. and have gotten so used to it. Thanx to all.

Email address change.All you old radar troops that I`ve been stationed with-drop me a line.

Dick Barrett`s `The Radar Pages` , at www.radarpages.co.uk, (see his entry of 11/01/2001, below) should be read by all USAF radar troops ... they`re fantastic. Very enjoyable reading, and a challenge to compare radar systems. Besides having some RAF beauts of what we call `humor in uniform`, he has added some provided by Gene. I`m sure Dick would appreciate your comments.

This is a great web site. Brings back a lot of GOOD memories.

Checking in! Anyone from Fortuna, or the 641st(Melville)? If you care to check out a Pine Tree Line site, visit mine: http://melvilleairstation.tripod.com/

Hi folks, just to let you know that `The Radar Pages` has moved to a new home at http://www.radarpages.co.uk This came about because we modem users were dumped by cable operator NTL. So, sorry for any conveniance and I look forward to seeing you at the new site. Thanks to Tom and Gene for their help with my site and for producing the wonderful Radomes site. Regards to all, Dick Barrett (former British Royal Air Force radar tech)
