For most of the 1960s, the maintenance control section of the 154th Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron was located in the old fighter hanger, Building 3400. 

It was a very small room on the second floor, makua, Diamond Head side of the hanger. Current controllers would be shocked at the size of the room, tiny in comparison with today’s facility. There were no computers – lots of papers and a few white boards. There were several windows that provided views of the flightline.

We believe the Airman in the photograph is Rudy Luat.
