Hi Russ,
For anybody wanting a free 3 hour tour of Cape Canaveral, the Air Force Missile Museum, the Lighthouse (which we used to climb for exercise) and see what’s left of the Matador & Mace Launch Pads here is some updated information:
“In the past, tours of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station were very limited. Fortunately that has changed; the 45th Space Wing is now hosting free bus tours on a more regular basis. This tour used to take place only once a month but now will run every Wednesday and Thursday, if there isn’t a launch or other mission operation going on.”
