thomas pendleton I was stationed on this site in 1959. I was a section panel operator for pit C. That meant I was down in the pit operating the section panel that controlled the missiles in our pit. I was the one that pushed the button on the command to fire! We once came within seconds of firing a missile before the command to cancel came down. Turned out to be a privet plane that did not identify itself! My heart was pounding as I saw there with my finger on the fire button! It was a great place to be stationed. Could roam around the mountains when off duty.

The missile my Sargent raised was a Nuclear Warhead with writings on it that were classified and the whole TV audience saw it! Heads rolled after that! True story.

I was recently here I’m not sure if you could have accessed it when this video was filmed but there is another bunker that you climb down in through a broken air duct. The ladder entrance was sealed shut, and in that one there was stacks of about 30 bed frames and what used to be mattresses. Along with that in the center of the bunker there is a large gap about 7 feet deep which spanned the whole center of the bunker where the I assumed the missiles were lowered into. The rest was generally the same. Just some cool info if anyone cares.

I was stationed at a Nike Herc launch site in (what was then West) Germany in the early '70s. Our launchers weren't on elevators, though; they were built in surface bunkers and rode on rails out the main doors. Then they would be elevated for launch. We were told we had a life expectancy of about 8 minutes if war began. Thanks for the memories.

When I was a kid and the site was live, I was able to get onto this launch site area during an open house event and observe a demonstration of how fast they were able to set up the missiles for launch. If memory serves me correctly, it only took a few minutes to get the missiles ready for launch from "alarm" to "ready to fire." I remember the hair standing up on the back of my neck because I knew that the missiles were LIVE NUKES. Very nice to be able to see down inside after all this time. Thanks for the great video!

Hey Dale, thanks for your reply and service! So here is a funny thing, you worked on the Nike/Herc the same year I was born, and it wasn’t a new system when you worked on it. Yes, Ft. Bliss is (or at least was) the home of ADA and my advanced, on hand system training was in Abernathy Park near the German Air Force at Ft. Bliss, I spent 4 years running around that place. Would love to hear your stories!

Dale Driskell sounds like your barracks were the same place as ours. We called the mess hall attached to the German barracks the “ International Mess Hall” and I believe it was building 1001. At various times I lived in 1004, 1005 and 1007 so I knew the area well. We had Nike/ Herc, Patriot, Hawk and Chapperell all training there (even the ill fated Sgt. York system for a time). Abernathy park was located near the El Paso Airport and was mostly used for Patriot training (16T and 24T) and we were in the corner by Jeb Stewart and Robert E. Lee roads.

We only went at night, and have no photo's (no electronic video back then. One 91st street just east of Argonne National Labs. The missile silos were in the woods south of it. There used to be straight rows of clearings running in a grid pattern. But today 2019, these can't even be seen. I found out there was one near Palatine IL, near Lake Cook Road, and Quentin Road. I've always been intrigued by these, but didn't know there was anything left to explore.

There is one of the sites in Monserrate Mo that is owned by a winery. The story I was told is the land and the empty site reverted to the original land owners when the site was shut down. The elevators still works and it is used to store wine underground and it is an interesting site to visit. At the time I was stationed at Whiteman AFB MO my wife and I stopped there and after talking to the owners they gave us a tour of the facility. The elevators and much of the equipment was still there and operating, just the missiles were gone but they had picture of the site bak when it was operational and I was also told that one of the owners had been stationed there while the site was up and operating. They wanted to find a missile that they could setup with a launch cradle to show how it looked back in the day?

6:05 that bus kinda looks like a neoplan AN440 diesel bus.

I lived in Malibu from 69 to 71, during my high school years. My buddy's dad was retired Air Force and since he had a USAF dependent ID card, one day we went up there and they allowed in to use the BX and they also spent a few minutes giving us a quickie tour (mostly just pointing at things from one position). (It didn't hurt that my friend's dad was a retired General.) At the time, due to the turbulent times, they had a couple of machine gun nests set-up to defend the base - one at the entrance and another one towards the high point of the perimeter. Cool stuff when you're just 16. If you go a ways further up Las Flores Canyon, you will arrive at the site of the radome for their long range radar system. It is now a county park at the summit of the mountain. The view from the top is spectacular - especially at night with all the lights from the San Fernando Valley and LA. We used to go up there and drink beer after they closed it all down. Great memories!

I've been exploring Nike Sites around Washington D.C. and Baltimore. BA-97's control Site shares a fence line to the Griggs house featured in the finale of The Blair Witch Project based on the tragic demise of Moll Dyer. The magazine you explored is not unlike W-35's Launch Site magazines/

Darn! You are exploring so many amazing places! Love your channel!!! Don't you get caught for all the "trespassing"?

Thanks for watching! If there comes a month we don't post a video....it means we probably ventured where we shouldn't have....so far so good! :)

Just recently learned about your video channel and absolutely love 'em! We're binge watching just about everything you've produced and will share with friends. BTW, you guys are the cutest couple...really! QUESTION: What type/brand of flashlight do you use when you explore the Nike launch site and in the Big Horn Mine? I need to get me one for sure. Thanks in advance for any help you can share.

My dad taught launch schools for that system at White Sands Missile Range. As a kid I got to go out and play, a few days with him at work. My dad was the go to guy when there where problems, but he had to let the bass know where he was at all times.

We were there today. Not much has changed. Went below, saw the bunks and just about everything you recorded. We were greeted by two LAPD officers when we came out who were more curious about what is below than what were doing in there. SWAT training makes sense for the two buses we saw up there. Interesting site. It is funny the comments about the masks!
