I complained that some of the scans were "eye-ball-busters",
but Greg patiently explained
Ed,    Yea, it’s an old document and the scan is lousy.  I’m not so much thinking of putting it on an informational web page,   but for my own information, I learned,    Interceptor sites in Cal were stationed at:    Hamilton AFB - San Rafael  Castle AFB - Merced  Fresno - ANG  Oxnard - Point Magu NAS  Ontario - ANG  El Centro - NAS    And the latest and greatest jet was the F-106    Nike sites in the US:    83 RA  48 NG  131 Total, 1966    Things I did not know…    Greg
