I would like to post what I saw that May 1st almost 30 years ago .-

The previous night we were told to expect the conflict to start early next morning , we were with the ANTPS 44 on top of Sapper Hill , we were having problems with it and the mechanics finish fixing it at about 0330 or 0400 Am on that May 1st .- A few minutes later a eco apears on the screen at about 70 NM aproaching from the NE , soon after some more splits on the screen show a total of between 5 and 6 .- Later knew it was the Vulcan with ECM .- I gave the alert to the Air Post Comand , they ask me to verifie and I did , from there on I tracked the Incoming Airplanes updating its position every minute until the Vulcan atacks the airport .- The Roland which was close to the Airpor and could have been in reach to target the Vulvan had been moved the previous day to the base of Sapper Hill to protect the Radar .- The alert was given to triple AAA but mainly because of lack of experience nobody shot at it .-
