I have purchased a ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE FLIGHT JACKET that once belonged to a Canadian Colonel Platz. In the late 70`s, he served in the United States with the 24th Air Division at Malmstrom AFB, as an instructor while on an exchange program. Owning and wearing his jacket would mean a lot more to me if I knew some of its history. Can you help? Bud Fellers Greenville, SC

I really enjoy this site, and I visit it often. It always evokes memories of the `good old days` in the Air Force, and of all the memories and good friends that I made. Over the years, I had the good fortune to be reunited with many friends as we were often stationed at more than one installation (AFS) together. In some ways, those were `the best years` of my life and I truly miss them, and the people with whom I served. Charlie Baker (Ssgt, AFSC 30372, AC&W Radar Technician 1971 - 1982)

Just found this site. This one and a couple others on AC&W sure bring back a lot of memories. 676th Antigo WI 57-58,788th Waverly IA 59-60 30352/30372 primary duty Gap Fillers Love to hear from others involved in same.

Great site, guys. Will be helpful to those of us currently `in the system` who are trying to sort through what was/is historically significant and then manage it appropriately. Let me know if I can assist in some way in the future. By the way, I have a limited number of hard copies of the `Searching the Skies` report and our other Cold War studies if your folks are interested.

I was stationed at the 681 AC&W Squadron between 1956 and 1960 would like to touch base with others from that time period.

I am looking for two people I served with at the 931 ACW SQDN from may 1959 till may 1960 Maj Swan and Msgt Robert Wilson THANKS

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Wishing all a healthy and happy New Year. Prosperous wouldn`t be bad either. Would enjoy hearing from any who served in the 645th Radar SQ. Patrick AFB. I served 62-65. Those were wonderful days of our youth. And what a `plum` assignment for a Radar Sq. member, the sunny beaches of Fla. Wow!! And uncrowded beaches before the population exploded and before the building of condo`s that blotted out the sun, well at least blotted out the view of the ocean and the beaches. Some of the names, no rank listed, Conrad, Arnold, Freeney, Liberta, Dorminy, Hassett, Burkhalter, Sackett,Puente,Jernigan. Enjoyed the Sq. level sports of basketball, softball. And to keep hydrated we consumed a lot of beer for our health. Best Wishes, God Bless America Dick Murphy

Happy New Year to all you old `Cold War` warriors and especially to Gene and staff of the Online Air Defense Radar Museum! Thank you all gentlemen!
