I HATE winter, and it's here, HOWEVER.............
Because I have no money, honey. And even though I spent 4 years at NAS Miramar (70-74) there is not enough money in that state that would get me to move there now. Fixed and maintained GCA RADAR and TACAN
Stole this from YouTube. Our two then QUAD FPN-36 RADAR
Our then (RADAR) shop, now gone We had permission to work on our cars there. The black 64 with the trunk open, and the Limelight 70 RR (440-6) are both mine. This shop was way down about Queen 7 alongside the high speed taxiway, off the back end of the "bore sight range." It was just E. of the old TACAN building tower, which you can still see in place, does not seem to be used now. The FAA maps place TACAN up by the tower, which was also replaced/ severely rebuild. The jarheads have now poured concrete over what used to be our shop, I believe
A young "me" pretending to adjust the RADAR
