Titan 1 Missile

The missile is currently being secured for restoration and display by the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum in Denver. This is fitting, as the Titan I was deployed at Lowry Air Force base where the museum is located (The ICBM base at Kimball was armed with Atlas missiles). I verified in 2014 that the upper stage is laying in the Kimball landfill.
