Not sure what they are trying to convey, here, but there is some footage of NAS Miramar sometime around when I was there, 70-74. By the way this same poster has scads of interesting videos

Some screenshots out of the video
Two smoky, noisy F-4 Phantom IIs on takeoff both off runway 24R. Another AC is evidently either approaching, or doing a go-round over on 24L. The AC are headed generally west. The yellow trailers are one of the RADAR units, either the carrier based stuff I had nothing to do with, or the obsolete "28" which we removed later

I believe this was the old "28" RADAR which I had little to do with. It was used for a few months then decomissioned, while some of the new guys and myself---fresh out of school--helped install the new FPN-52 GCA.

An F4 on takeoff past the two "QUAD" FPN-36 RADAR units, which I maintained. These were called QUAD for having 4 functions, search, taxi, heightfinding, and precision approach (GCA) which is what they were used for most of the time
Working on these was fun, but the noise of the fighters on afterburner was more like an AA/F---it rattles your chest cavity from the shock waves. NOISE. Only AC I recall at that time with no AB was the little Douglas Skyhawks---like most Douglas stuff, one hell of a good airplane

A really poor screenshot out of this video of the display of the FPN-36. There is an upper and lower rectangular section, the upper is elevation, and the lower is azimuth (Az-El). "You" are looking at the perspective with the RADAR source being at far left, about 10 miles out being at the right. You really can't see much here
