Stationed at March AFB from 1986 - 1989. Assigned to 33rd communications squadron and I worked in the 15th AF Command Post. I was a cold war warrior in the closing years of MAD. My team and I took care of the "computers" that assured the 15th AF commander had real-time knowledge of alert status, how many bombers and tankers were in the air, and how many were on the flight line in readiness status. We kept track of missles in service, planes out of commission for maintenance or repairs and the ETA of their return to service. We also tracked weather reports ... Lots of weather reports. I spent many harried mornings tapping on relays in order to get film to advance to the correct frame during a briefing. Also spent many Holiday evenings changing Xenon light bulbs at great risk to eyesight. In addition to our cold war duties we also participated in prank phone calls to hapless admin demanding they fill out their "half-sheets, and brutal rubber band fights that proved our warrior metal and ethos. Hats off to Duke, Mr. Kinney, Colin Diamond, Chuck McClellan, Mike Jago, Rubin Marinez.

Terrific Collection! I saw a lot of jets displayed there which were used by our ROCAF. B-17, F104,UH-1, AH-1, C-119, F100, F101, F84, F86,T-33, T-38.....They all served in Taiwan Strait to defend our freedom and also yours. To all friends in US, please always remember your old friend Formosa in Fareast who is watching the gate for you guys across the ocean. It's not fair to abandon us... again and again. Give us weapons, we will fight for our own freedom, and maybe yours as well.
