The heart of the AWACS really. (No computer and none of that fancy radar data would get processed!) I am sort of a radar guy as my first job in the Air Force was weapons control systems on the F-4. Most of which revolved around the aircraft radar system. So I am at least cognizant of, but by no means an expert on, radar systems and theory.<br /><br />Sounds like your Dad knew a thing or two about human nature.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-30621758698045120962013-03-07T09:58:08.822-08:002013-03-07T09:58:08.822-08:00You worked on or flew in E-3s?
