I grew up in an area populated by Minutemen Missle silos. While in High School, the Airforce took several of us on a tour of one of the control centers. It was rather sobering to see the sites scattered around the farmland.

And there was a little recruitment for the Academy going on at the same time as well.

They are all decommissioned now, of course.



There are still 450 Minuteman III missiles deployed!


Right--the sites I visited are older generations.
