Return to WCS

REAL fighter jets have two seats !

After lots of requests, I have chosen to add a Guestbook.

I'll appreciate all suggestions ( well, almost.)

Thanks for your comments !

I just talked to Bob Tooley and he told me about this site and I find it real interesting and would love to hear from any old WCS Troops. I still keep in contact with Bob Tooley and Otis Hickman but have lost track of all of the rest. I would like to hear from anyone else who is still out there. Larry Mottweiler

Seymour '73-'74, Ramstein '74-'76, Lowry '76-'77. I've been with Hughes (now Raytheon) for 20 years. BIT runs itself. Cals are automatic. Boxes rarely break. "Vc" is called "Rdot". No nice green smear on the B-scan. No TISEO to play with. Definitely NOT WCS, but it sure is fun to use. (kills MiGs dead) F-15 radar flight test '86-present.

Fantastic site! Haven't touched an F-4 since George closed in, but still miss it. After tech school as a "Q", I was at Bitburg from '75 to '76 and then was moved to Hahn from '76 to '77 when those blue twin-tail F-4s came in. Assigned to George (AMS th n CRS) from '77 to '80. Moved to Osan from '81 to '82. Back to George (35 CRS) from '82 to '86. Then moved to Zaragoza from '86 to '89. Back to George from '89 to '92 and the closing of the Base. During the last George tour was Spec Flt Chf of the 56 st and deployed to DS/DS from Aug '91 to Mar'91. George closed in '92 was assigned to HQ TAC and later ACC at Langley from '92 to '95. Arrived here at AFOTEC at Kirtland in '95 and will retire this year after 26 years. Does anybody know what ever happe ed to Jim Cornaire (Bitburg, 74-76), Bill Hart (Bitburg, '73-'76) or Dennis Zollman? Phantoms Phorever!

What a pleasant surprise to get a call from an old friend who told me about this page. WCS was a fairly small and tightly knit community of professionals, and I am proud to have been a part of it. I'm looking forward to getting reaquainted.

Wow, I knew there had to be a site out there like this! Lived and loved the WCS life at GAFB 83-87, Tague 88-89, Clark 89-91, Hurlburt Field 91-92. Was forced to retrain in 92. Currently maintaining communications systems at JHQ North NATO, Stavanger N rway. I cursed the phantom during many cold nights and blistering days on the flight line, but sure miss it and the great guys that shared the experience.

I was at Korat from Jan 1972 to Sept 1972 and again from Mar 1973 to Sept 1973. I was a 462X0 weapons mechanic at the time. I still have my fragging hat with the 388th MMS patch. Currently I amseeking a sticker of the patch. Can you help?

Started out my days as a WCS troop but eventually as your home page says, we became all but extinct. Now I live out the rest of my days as a GAC troop, soon to be combined with even more AFSC's. No! I'm NOT "weapons", I'm Weapons CONTROL Systems!

Crossed trained into cable maint. and then made a comm/nav specalist. On my way to Korea i month. I really miss the WCS world and all the great people I've had the privilege to work with

Was comm-nav at George AFB in 35CRS 82-83, then 86AGS Ramstein Germany from 83 to 86. Pete Peterson, Al Senf, Randy Nitahara were some of the WCS troops I knew at Ramstein. There were lots others whose names I can't remember. Then it was off to McChord AFB and trash haulers...what a bore. Got out in 1991, if I could have stayed on fighters I might have stayed in. Definitely more exciting.
