Would the type of launch platform you suggest be able to launch a missile with, say, 500 mile range?

Wow, that would be the world's greatest SAM. And it would have to be a SAM to get AF1

I only posed that question because, as I understand it, AF1 had rerouted northwards towards Alaska; presuming that was a missile fired from the environs of Whidbey Island, Puget Sound, on June 10, 2018, either they would have fired a long range missile or they fired at a decoy with a short range missile
