Titan I Missile in City Park

I worked on the red nose cone (reentry vehicle) that was used on this very missile when it was out in California. I made a special trip to see this missile which I had seen on an internet website. I was extremely disappointed when I got there. The very item that I worked on was missing -- the nose cone was blown off in a storm several years ago. The earlier tip photo doesn't reflect what it really looks like because I don't believe the town is going to restore it.

It's a Titan 1 missile. In a photo from our visit long ago, the sign reads "Missile Center U.S.A.," and features the Strategic Air command emblem of an armored fist squeezing lightning bolts.
