My father worked ejection seats on the EB-57's as part of the 17th at Malmstrom AFB MT in the mid to late 70's. I remember and loved the spectacle of the cartridge starts. The bang, cloud of smoke and low growl of the engines coming to life was very cool! Very beautiful planes as well! All of Malmstroms 57's were retired to the desert in AZ about 1979 and they can be seen sitting together on Google Earth.

Great times in the 4603rd. I was the crew chief on B-57B 52-1500 at Stewart AFB. NY. In 65 & 66. I have names of other crew chiefs I would like to hear from. Hank Kuzawa, Larry Warren, Steve Brown, Chick Thompson, Kent Loomis, Rodger First, Paul Pitts, Charlie Bowler, Gene Cavasco. We went on a lot of TDY's together flying frendly enemy penatration missions waking up those Air Defence fighter squadrons.The 57 was a great plane and the years in the U.S. Air Force are a treasured memory.

I was an engine mech at the 4603rd CAMRON squadron at Srewart AFB from 1962 to '65. When we went TDY to a base that never saw the early BLACK smoke start, they would panic. One time at Goose Bay, a rookie on the fire truck blew his load of foam into the inlet thinking the engine was on fire!! The brass didn't have much of a sense of humor!! Would like to hear from my old buddies!!

Doran,

The AN/ALR-9 and the AN/APS-54 were the radar warning receivers we had on the EB-57Es at Malmstrom.

Was able to get a hop in one of the Stewart EB-57s in the early 60's while they were TDY to ADW. Now retired, I'm a radio amateur and collector of MIL radio equipment. I'm restoring some ECM receivers and doing some articles on same. Does anyone here recall what ECM receivers were used on the EB-57s? It may have been the AN/ALR-8 or -9? I've got the old APR-1 and ARR-8B receivers working but would like to refresh my memory on the EB-57. I'm sure its all unclass, by this time. Regards

Ex 95th FIS, ADW and DOV
