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.
