They decommissioned the silos after the accident in Rock KS. Never worried about planes since I lived next to the Air capital and they were always around. Wichita had Beech, Cessna, Lear Jet and Boeing growing up in the sixties.Dashonthedash wrote:
Growing up during the Cold War, I feared hearing the sound of a plane outside my window.
I have never told anyone, but I had that fear as well. Anytime a plane was close, I would try to spot it to see if it was dropping bombs. I never knew anyone who feared the same.

Anyone remember the Duck and Cover drills in grade school?
