Hah! It is to laugh. I was in the 326 FIS and working with the SAGE
site at Kansas City (RG AFB)in the early 60s. They were having a
systems test exercise and one controller was running a (simulated)
Bomarc. Somehow he hit the RTB command and Lo! The Bomarc did a 180
and headed back for the barn. That caused a real loud fuss and some
hasty changes were made in the program.

I was with the Canadian Bomarc squadrons, 446 and 447 in the late 60's
and early 70's. Lucky enough to go to Florida on two trips to test fire a
Bomarc. Both intercepts were successful. Great fun! Worked in MIU, Target
Seeker Labs and finally as a Quality Control Inspector.
