High up in Arctic Valley just north of Anchorage was one of only 2 missile sites (White Sands, N.M. is the other) in the country in the 1960's that actively shot off missles about 6 times a year. It's unbelievably remote and only 3 groups this year will be allowed by the military to view its remains. The site was decomissioned in 1979.
Missile bunkers which are also in the press release below.

While we were up there we got a surprise flyby of a T-6 Harvard which was used as a trainer for fighter pilots in WWII, courtesy of the local CAF (Commemorative Air Force).
The missile bunker (lower right) as it looks now featured in the press release above.
