[MilCom] Westover AFB/ARB History

[Ken]

A staff member at Westover's PAO has developed a website:
http://www.westoveryesterday.com/index.html

He's got lots of information/pictures about the base from it's SAC days, Air 
Force Reserve
both as tenants/host command, as well as the fighter unit that was station 
here.  So far
nothings listed for it's earilerl MATS days.

He's even got a list of aircraft serial #'s for B52's stationed at the base.

So take a look at the website & also if you have any information to 
contribute.

Today,  KCEF's aero frequencies include:

Air/Ground, Safety "Bean Bag DZ":  301.4
Approach/Departure Control (KBDL):  125.35/325.8
ATIS:  114.0/138.10
Base Operations:  372.2
Command Post "Casino Royale":  252.1
Ground Control:  118.35/275.8
Metro/Wx:  274.75
Tower:  134.85/348.75

BTW I have to wonder what frequencies were being used in 1940's, 1950's, 
1960's, 1970's, &
early 1980's... Perhaps this would be a good research project.

Additionally if I remember correctly the callsign "ROD" use to below the the 
KC135 Air Refueling Squadron
at the base & was kept as the static callsign for C5's.
