Am already a member of Radomes, but just getting around to `logging on`. Service (PAFSC 29250) included tours at Wheelus AB, Tripoli, Libya (633rd ACWRON - Wheelus & Det 3 Benghazi) 56-58; Sault Ste Marie AFS, MI (753rd ACWRON) 58; Naha AB, Okinawa (623rd ACWRON - Naha & Det 4 Okino Erabu Shima) 58-60. Have been attempting to locate Marv Summerville & Doug Wiesner, who served with me at Wheelus. At the time, Marv lived in Oshkosh, WI, and Doug was from somewhere in SE MO. Would be glad to communicate with any who served in these locations. Oh yea, Happy New Year!

Stationed at Havre, MT AFS (AC&W)from 1961 to 1964

As a radar operator in the late 50s,I served on `Gunpost Hill` near Kassel, (Rothwesten AB) Germany. Relocated to Wasserkuppe in 1958 after operations closed in Rothwesten. Wasserkuppe then became `Gunpost` with responsibility for ATC for Berin south air corridor + tatical interceptor control of the ADIZ. Little did I realize back then that the Wasserkuppe years would be considered among the best of my life. Interesting assignment and great friends!

I was a Bendix Senior Engineer 1955 through 1960. I served on both FPS-3 and 3A and the FPS 20 site at the 770th AC&W SQ. Palermo, N>J> Palermo was the first signed on site in the SAGE program = the New York Air Defense Sector. I was the designated Sage Sys Engineer. The site commander was Maj (Later Col.) George Haws. If there are any Bendix folks living from that era, I would like to make contact with them. I live in Pueblo, Colorado, my hometown. I must tell you that my days of Tech Repping were the best of my 50 years of working in electronics.

I was stationed at Finley AFS ND Z-29 from Sept.61 thru July 64 and worked the 4 associated gap fillers most of 62&63. I really enjoyed the trip into the past. Thanks for all the good work. I did notice a small error of omision on the FUD report on Middle River P29D. The site was maintained by Finley AFS for all the time I was stationed there.

great site. i wondered what had happened to the old Air Weapons Controller site that featured the school at Tyndall. I see it has been incorporated into this site. Was assigned 747AC&W at Ellington, AFB, TX; Det 5, 621st TCS; and as instrutor at 3625th TTS.

I sure was suprised when i saw a picture of me on your website under the Alma Gap Filler in Alma Ga. I was also stationed on the tt#4 (texas towers) from 59-61. Had most of my tour on #4 which went down in Jan 61. I got off Nov 60 and spent the other part of my tour on #3. I knew most of those wonderful guys that gave their lives for their country. Keep up the good work I enjoyed your site very much. Do you know if Don Horton has an E-mail address. He was the person who submitted the pictures for the gap/filler section. Sincerly Tom Mayo

Merry Christmas to all. Hope that all you vets have abundant good health and happiness in the New Year. I served in the 645th Radar Sq. in Fla. 62-65. Would enjoy hearing from any of you folks from that time period. Being young and single at the time, it was a great place to be. Sun, beaches, girls, sports.....not necessarily in that order. :) I have mentioned some of the names previously,,,,,Col Puente, Lts. Arnold, Conrad, Mullen. Sgts. Burkhalter, Watkins, Dorminy, Sackett, Hassett?,Cauble, Liberta, McCain. Airmen Jergensen, Freeney. Those were good times, and I remember them fondly.

To all the guys that lived with all the trees and flowers at the 395th Early Warning Site, Cape Romanzof, Alaska, I wish the merriest of Christmas`s and remember the ones that we missed while `watching the scope` A/1C D. Cam Summers

Today`s paper (12-22-02) contained an article about European NATO soldiers suing Raytheon Corporation. The plaintiffs allege that radars manufactured between 1958 and 1994 failed to have adequate shielding from X-ray radiation emmited from various components. These X-rays are claimed to have sickened and/or killed technicians who worked on the radars. The article goes on to say that more than 450 German and other NATO soldiers filed a similar suit with Raytheon, GE and other radar equipment manufacturers. Have any USAF or Canadian radar vets experienced health problems as a result of exposure to radiation?

I was assigned to the Mill Valley AFS in California from 1974 to 1976. It was fantastic to see some pictures as the site looked in the past. I was there in 2001 and it looked reasonably good. I hope that they make a museum at the site. Thanks for this Web site.

I am a reference librarian assisting a patron. The patron is trying to document his ailing father`s military service. He wants some evidence that a U.S. Air Force Radar Station (720th Radar Squadron) existed in the northwest corner of North Dakota in the 1950s near Fortuna. Any information on this, or any referrals would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
