I was stationed at Statesboro when I was in the Air Force. We had a

them because we had bombers on a low level route (OB-17) that would
use our fire control radars for training and evaluation.


Interesting, I'd love to hear more about all of of that.
What's an OB-17? Statesboro was an Army Airfield during WWII,
then a SAC base later on (maybe when you were here). I have done
Google searches and generally find little info about this
airfield under military use. I'd like to have a few interesting
tidbits to put up on the walls here if I could find it.
