That's right. I'd totally forgotten about that. When the MACDAC
employees left, a whole bunch of critical boxes vanished about the same

As far as I'm concerned, they can go back up. I have a friend that flies
the F-15E that would be more than happy to make it rain scrap metal all
over the desert. :)
