I got to look inside an H one time, it was at Giant Sword 1977. I imagine
they have changed some.

You would notice only minor changes.

You're off a few years. The Air Defense Command went out of
business in 1978 (I was there). When the F-106 was retired, there was no
priority to continental air defense. It basically became an FAA
air traffic control system.

Air Defense Command became Aerospace Defense Command in 1968.

As a USAF major command, ADC was inactivated in 1979 and control of USAF
interceptor units and air surveillance radars and control centers was
transferred to TAC. Control of space surveillance assets transferred to
SAC, and ADC communications assets transferred to AFCC.

ADC was inactivated at that time only as a major USAF command, Aerospace
Defense Command continued to function as a US specified command.

Downsizing of continental air defense began long before the retirement of
the F-106. In fact, it began not long after the introduction of the F-106.
Very little of that air defense system became part of the FAA. The NOTIP
project demonstrated that SAGE wasn't a very good system for ATC. Some
radar sites were joint-use, that was about it.

I am pleased that we in ADC continued to exist through the 70s.

If I recall, it was called ADTAC.

Show up at my door and ask a question like that, dumbass.
