VQ-1 at work and at play in Agana, Guam 1972/1973BackHome movies of Navy personnel on Guam, between sorties involving the entire Pacific. The beautiful island of Guam was home; the Pacific our playground...The super connies were EC121K's (containing an AN/APS search radar, AN/APS-45 height finding radar, CIC station) and M's (that gear, and AN/ALD-1 direction finder, AN/ALR-3 radar warning receiver, AN/APA-74 pulse receiver and AN/APR-9 and AN/APR-13 ELINT receivers), "Peter Rabbit" coded aircraft sweeping up SIGINT/ELINT signals from the time of FLAMING DART to ROLLING THUNDER and into LINEBACKER 2. Big Eye, College Eye and Disco operations using QRC-248's to interrogate SRO-2 IFF transponders ("Odd Rods") of enemy aircraft proved highly effective. Our air crews would get the medal when some distant fighter pilot was directed to shoot a missile, by us, at a plane only we "see", many miles away. Systems became so quick and precise that operators could identify individual enemy pilots and ground controllers. The A-3 line-up included EA-3B's ( electronic intelligence gathering and Tactical Airborne Signal Exploitation System aircraft) and RA-3B photo birds. A TA-3B was provided for the admiral and guests. That one was a favorite: it had airline seats, individual Tensor lamps, and still had the stinger tail, but with a b/w tv cam now mounted. Try leaving the carrier with that view sometime. The accident at the Tamuning Shopping Center was fake - Like Suicide Club and Cacophony would later do, we staged madness anywhere we could....in or out of uniform.
