Titan Missile Silo Tour Tucson AZ
We have two openings left for a Top to Bottom tour of the Titan Missile
Silo south of Tucson, AZ. The tour is on June 20th from 8:30am to 1
PM. Our plans are to fly into Tucson International and rent a Van to
drive to and from the Silo, then have brunch at a nice restaurant on
the way back.
Here are details of the tour.
If you would like to join this tour, let us know!

Sounds like fun, but time frame wont work for me. Is this something that is on a regular schedule?
Would love to see it some day.
Your links are not working, by the way.

This one works...
Titan Missile Museum Top to Bottom Tour
http://www.eaa538.org/misc/TitanTop2BottomFinal.htm
This isn't the average tour. It's almost five hours long, limited to six people, and is geared to extra curious engineering types...wouldn't be anyone like that around here, would there?

Titan Missile Silo
Retired USAF Photographer. I've been in several Titan Silos back when they had live missiles in them. If you're the curious type or engineer type, you won't be disappointed.

I went on the regular tour last November, and can't wait to go on the top-to-bottom tour someday. If you can work out the schedule, don't miss this opportunity!

Me Too
I toured it a couple of years ago as well, but I didn't realise they did a top to bottom tour. That will give me a good excuse to come back someday!

Area 51?
There's a couple of Titan missiles silos left in Area 51 where they're hiding the UFO remains...
Seriously, sounds like a great tour. I'll be in Tucson a couple of days too late, so I'll miss this.

There are just getting started on turning these centers in North Dakota turned into museums, they should be very neat to see when they are ready for the public. These were part of the minuteman missle group.
If you ever get to North Dakota, they are a five minute drive from S32, cooperstown, ND
