| Mike Hodges West Point, VA | My father worked on the Bomarc and was stationed at Eglin, Fl and Kinshlo, Mi (sorry not sure of spelling). I am very interested in finding pictures that might have been taken in the late 60's and early 70's that I can use for a photo album for him. I have exhausted all of the sources i could find on the net. also if anyone knows of a good place to find a scale model of a bomarc please let me know.

| Bill White Rochester, NY | I was involved with the Bomarc from 1960 to 1964. After tech school at Chanute, I stayed as an instructor on guidance and control systems, I also taught in electronic fundimentals.
In 1963 when our phase of instruction ws closing, I transferred to the 22nd ADMS at Langley where I spent one year. To help with some questions from others in this column, there are several web sites with much information about the Bomarc, its history and the sites. Perhaps one or more of my students or co-workers are in the system. PLease let me know... 11/02/2006 @ 04:56 [ref: 14635] |

| Guy E. Franklin Montgomery, AL | The supersonic Bomarc missiles (IM-99A and IM-99B) were the world's first long-range anti-aircraft missiles, and the first missiles that Boeing mass produced. The program also represented the first time Boeing designed and built launch facilities. It used analog computers, some of which were built by Boeing and had been developed for GAPA experiments during World War II.
Authorized by the Air Force in 1949, Bomarc was the result of coordinated research between Boeing (Bo) and the University of Michigan Aeronautical Research Center (marc). The missiles were housed on a constant combat-ready basis in individual launch shelters in remote areas. The alert signal could fire the missiles around the country in 30 seconds. The Model A had a range of 200 miles, and the B, which followed, could fly 400 miles. Boeing built 700 Bomarc missiles between 1957 and 1964, as well as 420 launch systems. Bomarc was retired from active service during the early 1970s. First flight: Feb. 24, 1955 Military designation: IM-99A/IM-99B Classification: Missile Wingspan: 18 feet 2 inches Diameter: 35 inches Length: 45 feet Approx. takeoff weight: 16,000 pounds Top speed: More than Mach 2.5 Range: More than 400 miles (IM-99B) Ceiling: More than 80,000 feet Power: 50,000-pound-thrust solid rocket (takeoff); two 12,000-pound-thrust Marquardt ramjet engines (cruise) Armament: Nuclear warhead 08/22/2005 @ 13:35 [ref: 11059] |
