Posted on Nov 1, 2017 in 1980's, Check Six

This undated photograph shows 169th Aircraft Control & Warning Squadron members controlling aircraft. It shows the interior of Building 204 at Wheeler AFB. This was the squadron’s facility before moving to the current Hawaii Regional Operations Control Center (HIROCC) on June 29, 1984.

There was a note on the back of the photograph

Control Dais (Middle Dias)

From left to right:

  • a. Recovery Director
  • b. Weapons Director
  • c. Weapons Director
  • d. Weapons Director

Can anyone help with the identification of those in the photograph?
