The attached pic is a TSQ-70..portable tower in VNam. My aviation
company had about 20 of them to install, man and maintain.


Hope the controllers got combat pay.....



One of my NCOs said air traffic controllers would rather control traffic than
eat...

I once had to put out a controller for some airlift operation in the delta and
was out of portable towers...gave a 19 year old kid (who was all by himself) a
PRC-25 radio, had him stand in the middle of the field and control the comings
and goings...he loved it...arranged for the cavalry to give him meals and
something to sleep on at night...and that was it!

Don't know what they do nowadays...
