After 29 years of continuous use, the last Bomarc missile used by the U.S. Air Force was launched from a firing pad at Eglin AFB, Fla., as a drone for a Tactical Air Command fighter training mission in October. With this end of logisalso came a similar phase-ou- t tics support provided at the Ogden Air Logistics Center dating back to the 1950s. 1 The Bomarc missile was first developed by Boeing Airplane Company and the University of Michigan Aeronautical Research Center in the early days of experimentation with rockets following WWII. e Designed during the early 1950s to supplement or supplant such intercep"Delta Dagtion fighters as the known Air then ger" used by the Defense Command, Bomarc was origiThe "F" innally designated the dicated that the Air Force perceived the weapon system as essentially a "fighter" aircraft, rather than a missile.

Prior to the Air Force obtaining its first Bomarc missiles, in June 1957, Headquarters Air Materiel Command (forerunner of Air Force Logistics Command, assigned system management responsibility of the weapon to Ogden Air Materiel Area. - Within a few years of obtaining the first operational Bomarcs, the Air Force created 14 basing sites around the country's perimeter to serve the aerial defense of the nation. These missile sites served the needs of the U.S. well, but in 1972, it was determined that newer weapon systems were more adequate for Bomarc's principal mission and announced that it would modify all units for service as target drones for tactical aircraft. Ogden Air Logistics Center continued providing logistics management of the Bomarc system until the final launch of the last unit. Both the Air Force and Ogden ALC bid farewell to the Bomarc. It was a worthwhile relationship and one that deserves remembering. Mark D. McConnell, 34th Tactical Fighter Squadron Charles K. Parsons, 421st Tactical Fighter Squadron Timothy K.

Its differentiation was recognized when the 9 label was changed to IM-9and given the name Bomarc, an acronym standing for Boeing and Michigan Aeronautical Research Center. The missile was powered by twin solid-fue- l Ramjet engines and two boosters. It was not designed to be manned, but could carry a nuclear or conventional warhead to a target 400 miles distant at speeds exceeding Mach 3. Throughout its service life, the missile proved to be an exceptionally hardy system, even though it possessed some of the most sophisticated and delicate components of its time. For example, the electronic system of Bomarc contained approximately 12,000 components. The Air Force placed an order for the first 20 missiles in 1955 and on Dec. 30, 1957, the first of the sleek, black units rolled off the assembly line at the Boeing Plant in Seattle, Wash.
