True, but we do not need to give ideas to some of these morons!

Oh, the SAC Base is deep down and Bomb proof! B Neb!

Missouri was one of the biggest Silo Based of ICBMs, they are gone now, so buy a Silo, they are for sale! LOL!

Loose lips sink ships!
The missile field at Whiteman AFB (351st Missile Wing) was obliterated; only one launch control facility (Oscar-01) remains preserved, since it was the only LCF within the boundaries of an air force base - Whiteman. The aboveground launch control facilities and launch facilities - LFs, or silos - were sold at auction, with the government stipulating that one could not dig anywhere three feet or deeper below the property. The silos and underground LCCs were stripped of equipment and missiles before being blown up.

They used to offer tours of Oscar-One at Whiteman before 9-11 if it was requested in advance. If you want to tour a Minuteman LF/LCF, there's the Minuteman National Historical Park outside of Wall, South Dakota. (Free ice water at Wall Drug!)

Just south of Tucson is Titan II LF/LCF 374-7, now the Titan Missile Museum.

Only Minot, F.E. Warren and Malmstrom air force bases still have an ICBM presence. (American Siberia... )
