| Lyle Henson Atlanta, GA | Was in Duluth, MN 1963 - 1966 working on "IM99B" Guidance and flight control systems. Armed Forces day 1964 we allmost sent a live one to Canada when we were showing the locals how good we were. 12/01/2009 @ 14:35 [ref: 25368] |
| Douglas Beck Merlin, OR | I was at the SAGE DC in Montgomery, AL when the Bomarc shot down the AF B47 drone. Some were happy, some were sad. When you have to face a Major General that has seen his third star go flittering down in the Gulf of Mexico you have to dig deep for courage.

| Richard Renken Fairborn, OH | I was stationed at the Raco Missle site at Kincheloe AFB from 1964 to 1967. Electronics was my field. I see Frye was there when I was there. 11/12/2009 @ 14:38 [ref: 25282] |
| Bill Hewitt , CA | After electronics and BOMARC A school at Chanute AFB, IL,I was with the 4751st at Hurlburt Field on the 'A' from 1962-1967 as an Electronics Tech (MATS, MIE, FCO?). Deeply involved in converting it to a drone, CQM10A, and the first many launches as such. Later at Otis AFB, MA in the 26th, arriving in August 1971 just prior to deactivation in early 1972. Stayed through that Summer helping to dismantle and crate the missiles and support equipment. Now Ret. SMSgt. 08/19/2009 @ 21:19 [ref: 24343] |
| John Frye Bend, OR | Great missile. Although it was quickly outdated by the ICBMs, it had its place as a deterent to the Soviet bomber threat for the time it served. Nothing else in the Air Defence Command could respond as fast or with the range of a Bomarc B.

| Robert Medford, OR | I have may fond memories of this super weapon of the cold war. Went to tech. school for the CIM10B model at Canute Air Force Base in 1060 then stationed at French River Minnesota to work on it as a missile maintenance technician for the next six years. 01/07/2009 @ 19:29 [ref: 23436] |
| 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.
