Key West Hawk Missile Photos

Other than being assigned to a NORAD radar
station, my knowledge of the HAWK missile is extremely limited. With
that said, I have collected a number of photographs of the period that
were, or were associated with Key West HAWK deployment. My comments are
limited and are intended only as memorabilia.
Above is a map of the HAWK missle units in
the Key West area.
From left to right is Key
West, Stock Island, and Boca Chica.
