There are quite a few Nike sites around Pittsburgh one of which I had the opportunity to get into. It looks like they were built with the same prints. Rumor has it that when the missiles were removed around '65 that they were taken to and permanently stored in an abandoned mine in Greene Co. PA.

thomas pendleton I was stationed on this site in 1959. I was a section panel operator for pit C. That meant I was down in the pit operating the section panel that controlled the missiles in our pit. I was the one that pushed the button on the command to fire! We once came within seconds of firing a missile before the command to cancel came down. Turned out to be a privet plane that did not identify itself! My heart was pounding as I saw there with my finger on the fire button! It was a great place to be stationed. Could roam around the mountains when off duty.

I was recently here I’m not sure if you could have accessed it when this video was filmed but there is another bunker that you climb down in through a broken air duct. The ladder entrance was sealed shut, and in that one there was stacks of about 30 bed frames and what used to be mattresses. Along with that in the center of the bunker there is a large gap about 7 feet deep which spanned the whole center of the bunker where the I assumed the missiles were lowered into. The rest was generally the same. Just some cool info if anyone cares.

At the time I was stationed at Whiteman AFB MO my wife and I stopped there and after talking to the owners they gave us a tour of the facility. The elevators and much of the equipment was still there and operating, just the missiles were gone but they had picture of the site bak when it was operational and I was also told that one of the owners had been stationed there while the site was up and operating. They wanted to find a missile that they could setup with a launch cradle to show how it looked back in the day?

There's a fully functioning and operating as a museum Nike launch site and the control center in SF Bay Area in Marin Headlands. The control center was relocated though from the Hill 88 down to the launch site itself to visitors convenience. Former site operators, 80 years old officers, are now Nation Park Service employees volunteering there one Saturday every month telling you all about the Nike program, the missiles (that are still there, just without the warheads), operating the elevator up and down with a missile and raising a missile on the launch pod. They will also show you the radars in action and track some real aircraft on it for you just to show how they would have tracked an enemy aircraft. The tracking is done on 70 years old computer with CRT lamps. It's an amazing adventure (not to say that Marin Headlands in on of the best hikes in the Bay Area right near SF) and the museum is... TOTALLY FREE.

I was stationed on this site in 1960. I was a Section Panel Operator. I was the one who raised the missile and hit the fire button if commaned to fire. Thank God we never had to fire but I came within seconds of firing once on an unidentified private plane. We had another incident where they filmed an episode of Lassy the TV show on our site. We actually raised a Nike Hercules Missle for them to film with the little boy and the dog watching. By the way there were several dogs that all looked alike and I was really disapointed!. A little later when the show aired all hell broke loose. Turned out the missile we raised had a nuclear warhead and had writing on it that was classified! The Army General in charge of our Division saw it on TV! The officer and sargent in charge of selecting the missile to raise were in a world of trouble! I was just the guy who hit the switch wnen commanded to raise the missile so I was fine. It was good duty with 100 men stationed there. None of the parks were there then we were the only thing up Browns Station Rd.

There was one of these near Annapolis where I grew up. We used to ride our bikes there all the time. The Navy held onto the site and used it partially for materials testing... but they also set up a ball field. Eventually it was given to the county to be utilized as a park and arts center. I had friends who’s parents worked in that system and had told us there were a couple times that ordinance would turn up and not be on a manifest... so they were told to make it “disappear” and some stuff had been buried ... not on that sight perhaps...

There was one over here in Gaithersburg too. The park on the land is (suitably) called NIKE Park.

Awesome video!! Going down into the underground missile storage/elevator rooms was a great idea...it's amazing to see how pretty much in tact it is considering that the place has been abandoned for years...one can definitely see how things were set up back in the day!!

I was the first medical service officer assigned to the 933rd battalion. This site was one of the sites I was responsible for. There is not much left of it, but I visited it about monthly. One of my duties was to inspect the mess hall.

Its obviously a cultural thing, but I find it amazing that in the US, its ok to mess a place up and leave your shit behind. If the Police used that bus, they should have had it scrapped after they were finished with it.

Great footage. I thought for sure you'd open the hatch to find the magazine was full of water. That's what I have encountered before at a Nike site. Thanx for preserving some of our Cold War history on video.

The only reason you see these sites is because missiles can now be shot from within' "AREA 51"and submarines. The US have over 400 nuclear bombs, that each one is equivalent to 2x the one that blew up Hiroshima or Nagasaki. So your looking at the power of 800 nuclear bombs. They also have more powerful ones that they would never dream of using.

Nothing like anti-air systems using NUCLEAR warheads...directly over populated areas. Thank god they discovered fallout radiation and its effect. Known about this site for years. Would love to continue up the mountain higher but the ranch owners are seriously strict about visitors because of so many trespassers.

Up until sometime in the 90's (I think early 90's) there were still some occupied offices at the end of Browns Canyon Road. I think it branched off onto another road that has now been fenced off. I was up there back then and parked my car at the end and walked in. Some guy questioned me what I was doing up there. I kind of said "I don't know," walked out and left. I believed they were used by the California Conservation Corps. I didn't walk down into any missile silos, but have heard about them. The last time I drove up there (years ago) I saw some old cow looking at me from the side of the road. The cow added to the area's creepiness. I think I do remember that bus up there before it was burnt out. If it's the same bus, it was an old Los Angeles MTA bus (when they were called the RTD). I wondered what that bus was doing up there.

Yep, I remember the CCC having taken over the site.

As kids we used to explore these in Downriver Detroit right after the sites were decommissioned. Too bad they forget to kill every junction box and there was a live panel...
