Thanks for that, Nick.  I decided not to go this year.

I didn't see any AN/ART-13 units, RU/GF or SCR-A*-183 gear, nor any command set gear in un-hacked condition.  Come to think of it, I don't recall any from 2015 either, the last time I attended. I wonder if anyone has any reports from Fair Radio.

The only things I saw interesting in the 2016 photos were the RBA-1 and the Altair 8800.

Dayton last year was about half the attendance that was present in the mid-1990s.  It's not the event it once was.  Now it's just an excuse to visit Fair Radio and the USAF Museum.
