I used a Pace rework station in the USAF, vacuum desoldering and hot air -
very nice, but pricey.
Wow, where were you stationed? In the late 1980s I was at Beale AFB
working on SR-71 cameras and we used solder wick and manual suckers!
McChord AFB in Tacoma, WA from '83 - '86. We did a lot of in-house
repair on the boards from the Hughes Air Defense computer system
AN/FYQ-93. We would also repair boards from other bases who weren't able
to fix them. :-)
