[Milsurplus] After the last dance

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

Michael Tauson's comment about wanting an AN/APR-9 (below)
is interesting.  When I was going through EWO training at Mather
AFB, CA back in 1962-1963, our training manuals for the APR-9
were classified CONFIDENTIAL, but surplus dealers in the
Sacramento area were selling the danged things!  Weird!

We were still using them in our B-52Fs at Carswell AFB, TX
and in early days of ArcLight missions.

73 - Mac, K2GKK/5
Oklahoma City, OK
Crew E-55, 9BS/7BW
(1963-1966)
