[Milsurplus] Service Life

[James Duffer]

The FAA used both military communication (and radar) equipment.  At St. Simons Island, GA when there was a Flight Service Station (FSS) at Malcolm McKinnon airport we had an old TUQ still operating in the early 70s, actually it was still there when I transferred to the Memphis Long Range Radar in early 70.  The FAA still had military "FPS" series long range radars up in the late 90s and still may have some for all I know.  They had under gone lots of modifications however.
