For years Harold has talked about his visit to the Titan Missile Museum just south of Tucson. It's unique in that you can see the missile in the silo. The Titan II was the first missile to store fuel onboard, greatly reducing the launch time. The website includes a lot of facts about the missile.
The tour lasts about an hour and takes you to the control room. The tour adds a touch of authenticity by including a launch simulation. This was the first of our missile tours to do so, making it easier to imagine what it must have been like to be locked in an underground facility during an attack.
