Explosives experts at MacDill Air Force Base were called to the scrap yard on July 11 to identify an odd-looking object in a heap of junk. The experts said the object was a surface-to-air missile, minus its warhead -- so it's harmless. They say it appeared to be a training model, and still had its rocket motor and guidance system. What the experts don't know is how the missile ended up in the scrap yard. Local6.com (Orlando) https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1868530/posts#comment Thu, 19 Jul 2007 19:13:43 GMT
