Old thread on here long time ago. There were thirteen sites commanded out of Altus Air Force Base which was a SAC wing at that time. Located south of Lone Wolf, west of Hobart, near Snyder, Willow and Burns Flat and those are the only ones I can remember. They housed Atlas ICBM's.
Yep. My dad was stationed there around '58 or '59. After that he got stationed at Vandenburg where he damn near fell out the side of a C-47 that was filming a test launch. They lost telemetry as soon as it cleared the silo. They all had headsets on and heard the call at the same time, but the pilot must have had real fast reflexes. He banked and dove before dad could grab something. I came pretty close to never being!
