Atlas F Missile Silo 556-6 Au Sable Forks, NY

[@MunchkinKF]

You were absolutely correct it is such a shame that this facility went from mothball to totally gutted and flooded. However the clarity of the water in the launcher is amazing!

I hate when they do the LCC’s like this. 576-E was done in the same fashion, but the silo is dry. Imagine blasting a couple million lumens down into that abyss and finding some crib structure under there!

Love these old sites.

The “manned” sites pre-Minuteman were the best!

And the Titan 1's were the grandest of them all.. A city underground...

Were there different paint schemes used at different sites? Or was the seafoam green painted over by later owners? I hate seafoam green.

[@silopedia]

Haha, most people do! It’s interesting, most of the sites including Plattsburgh had a two-tone paint scheme of sea-foam green and a greenish yellow… but take a look at the Nebraska sites, they’re more of a forest green!

Does somebody currently own this site?

[@silopedia]

As of today, I’m not sure. It was for sale several months ago!

I really wish people would stop taking photos vertically. It just looks terrible.

[@silopedia]

Me too! Especially with the fish-eye lens new phones have… you could get so much more in a horizontal shot!
