Cable Dawgs: supporting AFGSC with a CAT

BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE, La. — A B-52 Stratofortress sits at the end of the flight line. The pilot radios to the air traffic control tower, and through the crackling soundwaves they hear, “you’re clear for takeoff.” The aircraft jolts forward, rises to the skies and is off to complete another mission. Communication of this kind is possible due to the work of cable and antenna Airmen. A 23 member Central Antenna Team from the 2nd Communication Squadron cable and antenna shop provided support to these mission essential systems on more than just Barksdale.
