The record-breaking Flrebee drone target at the Air Defense Weapons Center has boon relegated to the role of display target, having flown its final aerial flight for the air defense mission here. The Teledyne Ryan target flew a total of 87 missions before it was determined that additional flights could prove too costly with the needed repairs and maintenance. Thus, the target with the most missions ever flown was retired and given a brand new paint job for its role as a display drone. The "Red Phantom" as the target was nicknamed by Aerospace Defense Command pilots firing their weapons against it, set the first record in September 1969 when launched on the 38th flight.

At that time the record was held by a Navy target with 37 missions. Since then every flight was a new- mark until the 87th and final mission was recorded recently. The target, No. 66-2722, made Its first flight Nov. 3,1966, broke the then standing record In September 1969 and flew its last mission Nov.

12,1973. According to a spokesman for the Teledyne Ryan Company the average life-span of the Flrebee target is 15 flights. Thus, the long life of this one target represents several hundred thousands of dollars in savings to the Air Force. The life-span of these targets are lengthened by the use of electronic and mechanical devices which prevent direct hits. Thus, a missile filing is scored and the target is returned to the base for recovery and use again.

A typical flight ranges up to approximately one hour. The "Red Phantom" has had several close calls in setting the record. It has been hit in flight and only the efforts of skilled water recovery personnel resulted in the target being plucked from the Gulf of Mexico and returned for repair and more flights.
