[Scan-DC] Plane down Gaithersburg

[P Lepine]

I believe the Nuke Site is now the county park nearby....I believe they
paved the silo over and put up a basketball court.

The park was even named Nike park or something like that.

Two "things":


just in passing - almost directly opposite on Snouffer School Road is a
National Guard or Army Reserve center - Army reserve, I think, sorry, have
forgotten... I only pass it twice a day!  :)  Anyway, back in the good old
days of Cold War, that was a Nike site - you may still be able to see the
silo doors on google maps... the control site was down the road a bit and on
the other side (ie same side as where this plane went down today), it is now
a park - "Nike Park".

second, sorry, some of my posts may have bounced, was posting in rich text
or html or something... apparently yahoo defaults to that.
