When I was a kid growing up in NW Suburbs of Chicago in the 60's there was a Nike site in our town. Every Fourth of July the soldiers would march in the parade with a deactivated Hercules on wheels. Such Cold War Memories!

The missile being fired is at the main block house at White Sands Proving Ground, New Mexico. Have seen many fired from that location.
