[ARC5] This Is Interesting!

[DSP3]

I was with the 95th FIS ar Andrews AFB in DC.  We moved to Dover in 1963 
and replaced the 98th FIS with their F-101's who had moved to Suffolk 
Co. NY.  I think the 98th was one of the last ADC squadrons to have the 
Voodoo, but that's for others to confirm.  Regarding ARC-55s in 
high-altitude acft, base supply at Dover stocked the ARC-55 and, as I 
stand corrected, our solo U-6A DeHaviland Beaver had the ARC-55, not the 
T-33As.   When we got the Beaver, it had A.R.C radios and we needed UHF, 
of course.  The ARC-55 is just a bit lighter that the ARC-27, as I 
recall.  Of course, the Beaver never flew above 6-8 grand, if that!!
