Wright-Patt gets new research radar towers
Staff Sgt. Maurice Acosta and Tech. Sgt. Jordan Bunting inspect wiring atop a radar tower at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Active duty Airmen from the 820th RED HORSE Squadron at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. and Air National Guard members from six states teamed in September to construct three 100-foot research radars towers for the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate at Wright-Patt. The actual radars atop each tower were relocated from Rome, N.Y. to implement consolidation directed by BRAC 2005 decisions. Sergeants Acosta and Bunting are each with the 820th RHS Airborne Flight.
