DECI

I may be going mad, but I have recollections in the early 90s of controlling IAF F104s at Deci. I remember the symboloy on the ACMI kit and it was often pretty difficult to tell whether the tracking on the range was down or the ac were turning. Yes very fast. Yes very noisy. But air-to-air they were a one-trick beast and if they didn't get an early shot off BVR (AIM 7?) it was endex.
