Bill Blackwell Images Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 I was on vacation last week and I wanted to share this picture. It's a Titan II missile silo just south of Tucson, AZ (now preserved as a museum). The silo door is permanently slid halfway open with a Plexiglas dome over the preserved missile. The eerie effect was caused by the reflection of the cloudy sky above. The picture is unaltered.<div></div> “When you come to a fork in the road, take it ...” – Yogi Berra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad_ Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Well, I searched both hard disks, and not a single Titan II image to contribute. So, this Nike air defense missle will have to do...<BR><P> <center> <img src= "http://pages.sbcglobal.net/b-evans/Images4/Headlands_Web_9-4-04/ image/nikemissle.jpg"> </center> www.citysnaps.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Blackwell Images Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Since we're talking missiles, here's a cruise missile for you... After consulting the base personnel and informed the missile wouldn't bite, I quickly took the picture.<div></div> “When you come to a fork in the road, take it ...” – Yogi Berra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
