[R-390] MORE RE; SIGNIFICANT COMMUNICATIONS CENTER

While at McGuire AFB NJ in early 50's we had  F-94B Starfighter 
intercepters for ADC and SAC flew B-36's on operation signpost flights 
at all diffeerent times and if GCI alerted us early enough for a launch, 
like when the 36 crossed the Canadian border in Maine So. bound we could 
get one pass on them at altitude and if lucky with a good RO and GCI op 
we might get in line for a belly shot.
Before we got the 94's we had two squadrons of F-82F twin Mustans with 
the RO in the right side and the mucho grande Radome in the middle 
sticking out in front of the prop blades. with luck and skill might get 
one pass at the beast as she went flying right on by. With all 10 
running it was basically adiosbye bye.
IIRC the F-102 could play with her until close to Bingo Fuel state.
You always new when the 36 or the XC-99 was within 50 or so miles as the 
sond was a tattle tale for surre.

They did have ARC-8's aboard
