Bayshore Bomb Scoring Site
The Bayshore Bomb Scoring Site ("base facility identifier" 26001F)[1] is a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS)[2] that was used as a Strategic Air Command radar station for Radar Bomb Scoring. The site was activated in 1963[3] at Charlevoix, Michigan by Detachment 6 of the 1CEVG's Radar Bomb Scoring Division. Det 6 moved to the site from Ironwood, Michigan,* and was tracking the 1971 Big Rock Point B-52 crash.[4]
The Bayshore site was rebuilt after a 1967 television fire, closed in 1985.[5]
