  1. I was a radio engineer for APS in Arizona back in 1967 after I got out of the USAF. We still used tubes then, but over several years converted to transistor equipment. The old tube equipment was made by RCA and called CW-20 microwave relay. Our system ran all over the state on the mountain tops. You really had to know a lot of different things like snowshoeing and climbing towers (280 ft). Back then we worked by ourselves which was a little dangerous, things have changed a lot now.

  2.  @johnd5398  What is your definition of "nice"? Tucson is a very old town acclimated to the desert, which is where we all will have to be with global warming. Even Phoenix, where I live is changing.

  3. Nice list. Where is the C-141? I flew one over the Pacific for 2 hours in 1966.

  4. Quite the contrary, they are both, read up on it. What do you think the telephone engineers were doing at Holmdel?

  5. Eventually causing the Japanese to surrender, Yeah, it took them about half an hour. The B-29 was even more valuable in the cold war, it was so good, the Russians insisted on copying it, causing them to fall far behind the U.S. in development of war planes. What ever happened to the B-47 with 2,000 of them made, in service for 15 years until 1965? I thought that replaced the B-36?
