Marine Air Control Squadron 7 (MACS-7) was a United States Marine Corps aviation command and control squadron. The squadron provided aerial surveillance and ground-controlled interception and saw action most notably during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II and the Vietnam War. They were last based at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and fell under the command of Marine Air Control Group 38 (MACG-38) and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (3rd MAW).
History[edit]
World War II[edit]
Air Warning Squadron 7 was commissioned 1 February 1944.[1][2] as part of a larger program to provide radar early warning and fighter control for Marine units during amphibious operations. It was one of several such squadrons attached to Marine Air Warning Group 1 at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. For its first two months the squadron remained in the vicinity of MCAS Cherry Point learning to control both day and night aircraft. On 27 March 1944 they embarked for the west coast arriving on 1 April 1944. The squadron was subsequently stationed at Naval Auxiliary Air Station Brown Field in Chula Vista, California where they underwent a long period of intensive training in which they controlled fighters, torpedo bombers and bombers during simulated combat missions. Combat conditioning and the firing of various infantry weapons was also a part of the regular training program.
This is my favourite and best time-killer ATC game. Endless ATC is an awesome game for ATC freaks that gives you the real feeling of being an Air Traffic Controller (Approach Controller to be specific) at a busy airport. Air Control Inc., founded in 1962, is a leading manufacturer representative for vibration isolation, seismic restraints and air filtration for the HVAC Industry.
On 1 January 1945 the squadron began to load their gear on ships and set sail 3 January 1945. They arrived at Marine Corps Air Station Ewa, Hawaii on 10 January 1945 and proceeded to the nearby island of Kauai for further training. At this tim,e Early Warning Teams of sixteen men and two officers were each detached from the squadron for temporary duty with the 1st and 6th Marine Division, the III Amphibious Corps and the Tenth United States Army
On 19 February 1945 the squadron boarded amphibious ships and spent the remainder of the month and all of March transiting to Okinawa. AWS-7 debarked at Okinawa on 6 April 1945 and immediately set-up operating units in the vicinity of Yontan Airfield. Eight days later the squadron moved to Hedo Point at the very northern tip of Okinawa where there remained a fair bit of enemy activity.
During May 1945 the squadron controlled over 1800 aircraft without the loss of any pilots, assisted in the rescue of eight pilots who bailed out over water, controlled interceptions resulting in the destruction of 45 enemy planes, and with its direction finding station brought eighteen lost planes home. In June, the squadron controlled 503 division of combat air patrol (CAP) aircraft as well as 40 divisions of close air support and strike missions, 94 barrier CAP divisions and 24 air-sea rescue escort divisions. On 19 June, the squadron was joined by a platoon from a United States Army Air Warning Battalion.
In July, AWS-7 handled 312 CAP division, 105 special strike mission divisions and 14 air-sea rescue escort divisions. Two successful night interceptions were directed during the month to bring the squadron's total at the end of July to 63-day and 9 night kills.
The squadron's final numbers during the Battle of Okinawa were 76 enemy planes splashed, 33 air-sea rescues and 315 lost planes honed homed.
After the surrender of Japan in August 1945, AWS-7 remained on Okinawa for a few months until it departed for China in October 1945. They squadron established itself at Nanyuan Airfield near Beijing. On 1 August 1946, the squadron was re-designated as Marine Ground Control Intercept Squadron 7 (MGCIS-7). They remained in China controlling aircraft during the American occupation until 7 January 1949.[3] After leaving China, the squadron transferred to Marine Corps Air Station Edenton, North Carolina and was assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 15 (MAG-15).
Vietnam War[edit]
On 17 April 1965 MACS-7 was moved from MCAS Cherry Point, NC to Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, Japan. In September 1965 the squadron redeployed to Chu Lai in the Republic of Vietnam. MACS-7 assumed responsibility for radar control over I Corps on 15 September 1967. The squadron remained in Vietnam providing early warning and air surveillance until July 1967 when they were replaced by MACS-4 operating the new Marine Tactical Data System.[4][5] MACS-7 transferred to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California and was reassigned to Marine Air Control Group 38.

In this tutorial will show you how to deploy an All-In-One Ubiquiti Management Suite Server on VPSie using the one click provisioning option. The hosted Ubiquiti applications include mFi Controller for environmental automation, UniFi Controller for centralized management of Wireless & other network devices, and Air Control 2 to mange most legacy and AirMAX network devices.
Note: This platform is free to use and doesn’t need subscription.
mFi – hardware and software combines plug-and-play installation with big-data analytics, event reporting and scheduling to create powerful relationships between sensors, machines and power control.
Advanced Management Software – Make buildings smarter and more efficient using the intuitive UI and powerful features of the mFi®Controller software.
UniFi – is the revolutionary Wi-Fi system that combines Enterprise performance, unlimited scalability, a central management controller and disruptive pricing.
UniFi software provides an intuitive, easy-to-learn interface for installing, configuring and managing your Wi-Fi devices.
AirControl 2 is a powerful and intuitive web based server network management application which allows operators to centrally manage entire networks of Ubiquti devices.
Please note; Since we have prepared this image with three powerful management apps on one server, we suggest that you take into account the system resources required for all of them to run successfully in production. If you plan on using all three on a single server instance, It’s required to have at least 2GB of Memory available with the SPIKE package at minimum or else services will intermittently fail to start.
1. Now that you have decided to provision these apps on VPSie, let’s get on with the fun… First you need to login to your VPSie account and head over to the first tab called VPSie.
2. On the bottom of the page, click the – Add New VPSie button.
3. On the next screen select SPIKE package or above.
4. For the sake of simplicity we will only select Public IP
5. Choose the ssh key we have previously added to our account (if you don’t select the ssh key you will have to wait for the e-mail after the VPSie is created to get your password).
6. Select the DataCenter where you want your the template deployed.
7. Next you click on the Apps tab and select Ubiquiti from the application lists then type your hostname and click on Create VPSie button on the bottom.
Once the VPSie is deployed, Please allow for up to 5 minutes for the applications to configure themselves and start.

UniFi Controller APT howto
- Add /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt.list (or edit /etc/apt/sources.list). The ‘stable’ source is floating. If you wish to stay with a certain release branch, please specify it in the source line (i.e. for UniFi v5 use the ‘unifi5’ source, etc).
- Add the GPG Keys:
- Update, install, and upgrade:
- (Optional) This step may not be required, depending on the Linux distro you have. If your distro does not come with MongoDB, and it’s not available in their repo, then please see the MongoDB installation guide. You can find the latest installation guide for Ubuntu HERE, and DebianHERE. Mongo 3 may not work reliably with the backup function of UniFi, so keep this in mind when updating Mongo. Mongo 2 is preferred at this time.
Notes:
- Ubiquiti do not allow direct listing/access of our repo. You will receive a 403 forbidden notice if you try to access the folder directly.
- If you need assistance with updates, configuration or the installation – feel free to open a support ticket or utilize our low fee on-demand support services.
