-Titan-

When to the Titian Missile Museum today for their 50th anniversary. Just a quick shot from above with my phone.

<sub>Info
The Titan II was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and space launcher developed by the Glenn L. Martin Company from the earlier Titan I missile. Titan II was originally used as an ICBM. It was later used as a medium-lift space launch vehicle to carry payloads for the Air Force, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). These payloads include the USAF Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), the NOAA weather satellites, and NASA's Gemini manned space capsules. The modified Titan II SLVs (Space Launch Vehicles) were launched from Vandenberg AFB, California up until 2003.

The Titan II was in service from 1963 to 1987. There were originally 63 Titan II Strategic Air Command missiles. Nine were deployed to Vandenberg AFB training base in California. Eighteen of the missiles were on 24 hour continuous alert surrounding Davis-Monthan Air Force Base near Tucson, Arizona. The remaining missiles were deployed to Little Rock Air Force Base in Arkansas, and McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kansas.</sub>
