As the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis approaches, a group of students attending the George T. Baker Aviation School are restoring a Nike Hercules missile for display at one of the original launch sites in the Everglades. The missile was salvaged from a US Army depot in Alabama. It will be on public display at HM69 Nike Missile Base, which is operated by the National Park Service.

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or display:

“You gave him an opportunity to display greatness of character, and he let it slip away. For that he will never forgive you.”
