Didn't even know they existed. Nice looking though.
I was a Missile Combat Crew Commander i Kansas fro 1970-74. The Titan II was too big to hide and required a special trailer to haul it. The Reentry Vehicle (the H-Bomb) was transported to McConnell AFB by plane then by convoy with guards front and back and in the air. I later worked at the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant.I've seen trucks come and go from the disassembly plant in Amarillo, Texas and have known a few that worked there (-40 years). Possibly don't work there anymore? With railway and trucking in and out without special markings. Times might have changed?
All of this exposure to nuclear materials did not affect me one bit with one exception.... As long as I hold a cup of coffee, it never gets cold!
With it not being an AFB anymore and for a long time being an international airport I wonder what they use those old ammo bunkers for across hwy60?I was a Missile Combat Crew Commander i Kansas fro 1970-74.

I did a computer system implementation at the Pantex Plant in Amarillo. The security was by a "Private" company but they had M16s and a bunch of interesting modified Chevy Suburbans. Viewed from afar they looked stock but when you got up close you could see they were heavily armored. The roof had a retractable turret that contained a cannon.

That's just in Texas! What about other states!@BET7 storage facilities?
Too small@BET7 storage facilities?
Still too smallThat's just in Texas! What about other states!
To be more "tacticool"Why would carrying these be preferable to the M17 and M18?
