The following eight photos were contributed by Tom Page. All were shot on 15 September 2022.

Site entrance from the west for the present-day FAA facility using the original AN/FPS-27 FD Search Radar tower. The radar in use now is an upgraded AN/FPS-67B model known as a Common Air-Route Surveillance Radar (CARSR). [looking east]

The old Air Force Operations building with one of the two AN/FPS-6 (or AN/MPS-14 or AN/FPS-90) Height-Finder Radar towers on the right (west). The other AN/FPS-6 (or AN/MPS-14 or AN/FPS-90) Height-Finder Radar tower has been torn down. [looking south]

SAGE-era GATR site (formerly the manual Ground-Air Transmitter radio building) on the site's west side [looking west]

Another view of the GATR site [looking northwest]

Multi-Purpose Recreation (MPR) building, east side [looking west]

General view of the old radar station's cantonment area.
