I have a version of the old Fortuna welcome brochure which caused quite a stir back in its day in the 1971/72 time frame. Its a little less formal than the one presently on the web site. If you'd like, I'll scan it and put it on this site if you tell me how to do that.

thanks

Looking for 746th friends 1957 -1960

Don't remember where I saw ACW call signs, but it didn't have the 769th acwron, it was Freestyle, and the Direction Center at Kirtland AFB was Elsewhere. Am I too late?

Ihave a year book, circa 1955 or 56 of the 34th ADD, including the 93rd FIS. Would like to hear from anyone, will share pics of all the ACWRONs and the 93rd. It was a great time, and those oh hot F86Ds. General Wendell Bowman, Base Commander, moved on, and made Major General before he retired, he died a few years after. A friend once told me, "The three years of his life was the second grade", the happiest four years of my life was the 769th, huaah.

I was at the 769th, from Sept., 1954 to June, 1958. When I first arrived, I thought if the world needed an enema, this would be the place for a tube. Within six months, I thought it was the greatest place in the world, please take me back. Wes

Alex, I remember you. You won the state wretling championship in high school and roomed with Mike DeCesare. I roomed next door, firt with Norman "Smitty" Smith from New Orleands and later with John Crites from Missouri. SMSgt William Rogers was the Chief of Police and Joe Barta was a TSGT. We both worked with Clancy Bolduc, McMichael, and Jockheck. We just drank too much beer. Great hearing from you. I am glad you can't call me a "JEEP" anymore. I plan to retire in about two years and return to the Kuppe on Vacation. Even though I don't drink anymore, I still want to go to the Monastery. God Bless Walter

Am trying to re-connect with any of the officers assigned to the 708th AC&W site @ Indian Mountain AFS in 1969. The top camp OIC was a Major LaGassa (sic) There was a 1st Lt Mike Dority (sic) and the radar officer (a Capt named Bob from Louisiana)

Can anyone help

Kent Denton, LTC, (ret)

Was a Lt with 684th AC&W 1964-65 Davis Monthan AFB and 685th 1965-66 Las Cruces NM. Weapons Director.

I served at McDill from January 1960 until about August 1962, before transferring to Sparrevohn, Alaska. I hope to find some of my old buddies.

I was at 649th radar sq,Bedford air force station,Bedford,va. from oct 1959 til may 1963.I worked supply.

Served at HQ, 52nd Artillery Brigade, Highlands AFS, from early 1962 to July 1963. Clerked in the S-4 office for people I can't remember.

Last Fathers Day had lunch at the former control tower at Hamilton AFB.I reported in there to the 28th Air Div fresh out of Keesler in.1952.As I came into the Orderly room,toting my luggage,the First Sgt greeted me with ,"Get that damn stuff out of here,this isn't a Greyhound Bus Station"!In Dec 1953 when I was in the 4701st AEW&C at McClellan,we had our first RC 121 C land in the bay while attempting a GCA landing there in the fog.Drove up on Mt Tam to see what remained of the 666th radar site where I served.Basically nothing left,just FAA stuff.

I am very suprised to have found this web site,had no idea that there was any thing left to show my grand kids about "what grand paw" did during the cold war.























































































































I am very suprised to have found this web site. I have often wonderd what happend to my radar base,guess I know now.I was stationed at the 637th ac&w Sqd, Othello,Wash from June 1953 to March 1957. we were called "scope dopes" then. My job went from being a plotter to a I C T/controller. I would like hear from any one that was there during that time.

Was a MEDIC at 784th,676th,783rd,914th,791st AC&W Sqds. in the 1950s and 1960s. Anyone out their remember ole {DOC} Lantz?

I worked on the FPS-90 and FPS-35 radars while in the Air Force. We did not know about the dangers of the insulating oil used tin the radars at that time. It is now a proven fact that the PCBs in this oil can cause cancer and I am now fighting such cancer and I do not smoke.

Any links or links that anyone might have to assist me with my case to the VA would be most helpful.

Was stationed at Cape Charles, 771 Radar Squadron, '66-68. It was real good duty. Went from there to Det.11, 619th TCS, Hon Tre Island, Vietnam. Some of the guys I remember at Z56- Ronnie Sullivan, Jackie Phelps, Chuck Thompson, Joe Martin, Sgt. Colbert, Richard Lance, High School Harry, Bumgarner, Edgington, Brown, to name a few.

ac&w operator 1967-1970 5th TAC 1969&1970 Clark AF Base went TDY to Vietnam, Thailand,Korea any health problems?

I was at 649th radar sq Bedford air force station,Bedford,va from oct 1959-may 1963 on apple orchard mountain.

I'am proud, my dad, TSgt. Jose A. Anaya Sr was served 20 years in 140th AC&W Punta Salinas. Good memories when the family picnic in the base. Thanks all You guys to Guard Puerto Rico skies, Thank You.

I was a radar teck from about Jan 1949 to May 1950 in the 604th .We didnt have radomes the .The search radar was the snow plow CPS1 and the CPS4 banana peal hgt finder.I finished my days in the service as a loadmaster in 1985.

Several years ago I wrote an article about the 760th AC&W site here in Colville WA. Recently, a former Airman, Luther O'Dell Shaw, who was stationed at the 760th came back to Colville, looked me up and presented me with the official 1953-1954 25th Air Defense Division book with pictures of all the men serving in the 25th Air Defense Division. There are several hundred pictures. It was published by the Army & Navy Publishing Company in Baton Rouge Louisiana.

I thought about donating it to our local museum but wondered if it would be better utilized by your Radar Museum. In the past I have been in touch with Richard Konizeski but have been unable to contact him about this book. Please let me know if it would be something you would want. Thank You.

I was with IBM in the SAGE CC building during 59 and 60. The Air Force had not yet taken over maintance of the system yet.My manager called me in one day and told me to come up with three IBM people, one each from central computer, one from displays and one from input/output. We were to come up with a class plan to teach a group of Airmen to operate the system. We taught a class for about 12 people for about 3 months.They then pretty much took over operation of the system, This left us free to do the maintance on the system. These Airmen came from the "scopes" and were glad to be moved. We also enjoyed doing the classes. I always enjoy stories about SAGE.

I meant to say I was with SAGE at McChord AFB in 59 and 60.

Stationed in McCoy AFB 965th/963rd AEW&C from Nov 68 - Oct 70.
Rockville Iceland 932nd ACW Squadron Nov 70 - Nov 71.
Malmstrom AFB ? Squadron (SAGE Radar) Nov 71 -30 Jun 72.
Jim Hughes was my best friend out in California, but I met a lot of great guys during those 4 years.

I was stationed at 663rd AC&W, Lake City Tenn, 58-60, I was at 720th AC&W,Middleton Island Alaska,60-61 and at 701st AC&W,Ft,Fisher,N.C. 61-63 and then was forced to retrain into data processing in 1963. Yesterday July 5th 2010,around five in the afternoon my phone rang and I was shocked to hear the voice of my old Room mate from Middleton Island Alaska. His name is Hank Saldana and he lives in Pueblo Colorado. We have not seen each other or spoken since November 1961. At age 75,Hank got a computer and his niece is teaching him how to use it. They googled Middleton and found my name on the site roster and tracked me down. We talked on the phone like school kids for over an hour. We are already planning a trip to get together. I just thought it is such a neat story and I wanted to share. I loved my AC&W days and remember all of them just like it was yesterday.

I was mailman at Murchy Dome 1964. I went through the hurricane.
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE WHO WAS THERE THEN.

I was stationed in Campion AFS from Feb 1972 to Jan 1973. I read where it was decommissioned in 1978; thank god. I had just gotten married and 30 days later was sitting in Campion for a year. Luckily I met some great people while I was there, and would love to see what it looks like today. If you can point me to any current day pictures it would be appreaciated.

During the 1st eight yrs of my AF Career I served in the 762, 732, 748 AC&W Sqn & the 645 Radar Sqn. I flew 2000+ hrs with the 962 AEW Sqn before retraining to another career field. I am interested in contacting anyone who served as a "Scope Dope" at these installations.

One of the operating locations in Taiwan is missing from your fantastic directory. The site was first located on the northern tip of Taiwan (Fukui Cape) near a little village of Shihmen. Duty was too good there, so in 1968, the site was moved to a mountain just south of Shihmen. I believe the name of the location was Sung Shan or Bamboo Mountain. Low level coverage was so good that we could count boats in the Straits and got nothing but ground clutter from the Mainland.

Stationed at 634th until 1968 30574

served may 1961 - 1962

Happy 4th of July to all and thank you for your unselfish service to this great county.

Looking for anyone stationed at 752nd Aircraft Control and Warning (AC&W) squadron, Empire, Mi, 1963-65 timeframe.

Looking for 775th AC&W Squadron member airmen at Cambria, California during 1957-58

I was stationed at the 663 AC@W from June 1952 til June 1954

Gary,
I was stationed at Havre AFS from September 1968 to September 1970. The radar site closed down July 1979. I live in Columbia Falls, Montana about 260 miles west on US Highway 2.

Was commander of 771st 1954 to 1956

RE the upcoming SyFy show that was to have been largely about Camp Hero and Montauk AFS, and the alleged strange goings on there, has taken a turn. I learned yesterday from my source at NBC Universal (who is producing this so-called "documentary") that very little about Montauk will be in the show now.

If anyone is still interested, "Inside Secret Government Warehouses: Shocking Revelations," premiers Sunday, July 11 at 9pm (ET/PT) on SyFy, according to my source.

For what it is worth, I actually met with the NBC Universal crew in person back in February, and gave them an interview on Montauk AFS. I provided a short history of the radar station, and discussed what might behind all those hokey conspiracy theories. I found out yesterday, though, that none of my interview will be used. Maybe I did too good a job debunking those wild theories? Apparently, the SyFy Channel does not want the truth. I guess all they want is outrageous claims about government cover-ups.

Anyway, I tried.
