Respect My Authority!

I’m not sure exactly what to call this piece of equipment…. There are a couple of them at the Oceana Air Show. Basically it’s a portable guard tower. A guy is up there in air conditioned comfort, just watching and waiting. This is the eye in the sky. Big brother’s little brother!

The guard shack swung into high-alert when some anti-war protestors climbed on top of the B52 bomber and had to be ‘coaxed’ down by base police w/ automatic weapons.
