[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2207465, member: 807"] My stint in the USAF was with Det 3. 1st CEG (They now call it 1st CEVG) our mission outside of theaters of war was training SAC and other aircrews in dropping ordinance on targets. My home duty station was a remote radar site in Statesboro GA. Due to our fairly close proximity, the Marine fighter pilots from Cherry Point NC would often run against our targets. As with any organization, they had their share of nuggets.. One evening, I had a flight from Cherry Point come up on freq and ask for help in locating their position. They stated that they were over a small town with two very well lit ball fields.. Setting their transponder codes really makes it easy to spot someone who is lost.. Good old beacons stand out on radar.. In all fairness, most of them were very professional and good at the close support bomb runs.. Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
