They did a helluva great job hiding these Nike/nuclear missile sites. A few years ago I was surprised when I was looking up nuclear missile sites online there were some in CT. one missile site was one town over from where I was born and grew up in CT. less than 5 miles away. The Cromwell site that was actually in Middletown on Mile Rd. It was a different time and easy to keep things under wraps. Nobody had a clue. ha
Thanks for sharing this. I never knew Plattsburgh had this capability. Keep up the great presentations of our nation's Cold War history. Cheers
