Neat. I wish I could have seen it.
I was at Offutt AFB working in SAC and USSTRATCOM. The Weather guys also
had some big place there on base, I think it was called the Global Weather
Center, but I could be wrong. I never got over to their building as my
stomping ground was all related to missiles, not weather. Still, the
Unisys contractors we had also occasionally helped their peers in the
Global Weather Center, so I know there was Unisys (Sperry) gear used over
there in a sizable way at the time (89-93).
