Was stationed there from 1967-68, USAF. Worked on the Thor Missile fuel systems, including LOX, RP-1, LN2, etc.. We manufactured our own Liquid CO2, Liquid Nitrogen, and Liquid Oxygen. The Liquid oxygen off gassing from the storage tanks was the best hangover remedy going!!! Hangovers were common since hard drinks were a nickel each at happy hour at the NCO club. I have to say they had the best food that I ever had in the Military. Mess hall was opened 24/7 and staffed by civilian personnel, mostly Hawaiians who were a great group of people to work with and to have good times with. I reminisce about those days a lot, they were good times with good people.

It's easier to develop weapons and chemicals. But disposing of them safely is another thing.

I assume that 60 min. was 1990s because it was several months post commision. I see you were filming from on top of MFB maybe. Or VIP quarters? I worked for Telon Electric in mid '80s on the JACADS.

Many unsuspecting counties manufacture some form of weapons even if it's only bullets and bombs. Many study biological diseases for the good of mankind or Not! Look at Covid 19. Studied all over the world in one form or another. Mankind it appears is its own worst enemy. Can you believe anyone in government anywhere?????

The sheer tonnages of chemical agents that had to be disposed of safely is astonishing, and thankfully it was accomplished. And this technology came in handy when Syria's use of sarin resulted in it's seizure and destruction with the help of the US. Even more thankfully, none of that massive US arsenal was used in warfare. At least chemical weapons are gone when they're burned, unlike radioactive waste!
