[edit] Pierre Trudeau in NDP?

On what planet was PET ever a member of the NDP? There's no reference, so the claim is being removed. --Rhombus 01:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No original research

Does the following passage from the article indicate that the article violates the policy on no original research?

"Sources: Russ Sneddon, director of the USAF Armament Museum, Eglin AFB, Florida. (Provided information about missing CIM-10 exhibit airframe serial 59-2016, one of the museum's original artifacts from its founding in 1975 and donated by the 4751st Air Defense Squadron at Hurlburt Field, Eglin Aux. Fld. 9. As of mid-April 2005, the suspect missile was still stored in a secure compound behind the Armaments Museum.)"

Still remember reading through squadron quarterly history reports filed down at Maxwell AFB of an incident that happened at, I believe, Dow AFB back in the 1960s(?). One day, the protective doors over the launchers opened, the BOMARCs raised to their launch positions, their APUs fired up, and for all intents and purposes it looked like they were getting ready to fly off - unfortunately, nobody had ordered them too! After a few minutes, the APUs shut down, the launchers lowered, and the doors closed - again with no apparent commands being issued by anyone on the base. I found the story so improbable that I made a copy of the declassified report - it's buried in a box somewhere. jmdeur 17:00 25 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.148.60.151 (talk)

[edit] Note Regarding Warner Robins BOMARC Display

From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, a BOMARC was on display near the front of the museum at Robins AFB. This BOMARC has since been removed. The location where the BOMARC was displayed can be seen at http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Robins+Air+Force+Base&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=32.59222,-83.589773&spn=0.002133,0.005402&t=k&om=1&iwloc=A

[edit] Rumors concerning missing missiles at La Macaza

I was born and raised in L'Annonciation, the neighboring town of La Macaza. I've heard numerous rumors concerning the missiles and nuclear warheads, that were at La Macaza. I've heard that they where hidden somewhere in the mountains surrounding the base. That's probably just some unfounded rumors but it became popular folklore in the region. --Eric Lacasse 20:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC-4)
