73rd EACS Airmen install radomes
Airmen from the 73rd Expeditionary Air Control Squadron spot a crane as one
of two new “radomes” is installed here, Dec. 9, 2009. The installation of the radomes will greatly reduce the effects and costly damage caused by the harsh local climate on the An/TPS-75 radar towers, which were used for the past two decades. The amount of maintenance required for cleaning and repair will be greatly reduced when this project is completed, increasing the operational reliability for members of the 73rd EACS.
