I visited Minot, ND, for a week when my sister and former Bro-in-Law (Air Force) lived there. His job was to guard the missile silos, and there were plenty of them scattered around the area.

He then transferred to Carswell AFB in Texas where he guarded “bomber row” where the B-52s were then parked. That was many years ago.

There’s another freeper/freeq stopping in Bismarck, ND this afternoon. Things that make you go Hmmmmnnnn.....

I was a young engineer many years ago at General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) on the other side of the airstrip we shared with Carswell. I grew up in the country and quiet nights. My apartment was in the flight path. Several times, I jumped up out of bed around 3:00 AM as a swarm of B-52s scrambled for a drill. :)
