Weird NJ Nike Missile Bases

There's one close to my house. I've gone and taken a look, it's pretty cool. I didn't go that deep, me and my friends didn't think to bring a flashlight, and technically I shouldn't be back there (there's a hole in the fence). It's been a while since I was last there, but I think a lot of people played paintball in there (lots of tanks for the guns) and I'm pretty sure a hobo or something lived back there, but that was really just a rumor.

Have you guys ever been to the BOMARC Missile site in Plumstead TWP, NJ? This is the site that had the warhead burn and contaminate the immediate area. It was still monitored by McGuire AFB who was responsible for the site. I would love to hear more about it.

yes, there is a launch site within an 1/8 of a mile of my house and the control center is a couple of miles up the road. its pretty cool, the sites name is BG-80 still a missile on site.

the concept is still used today..assured mutual destruction

It's always interesting to read the posts by those who have no idea of what was going on during that period of time. Easy to mock the subject. Time forward 50 years. Events of today will most likely be viewed in the same manner and made fun of. Too bad these naysayers did not live to experience the "cold war". The Nike program was part of and extensive effort to counter soviet threats.

so weird to see all that.
