The Titan in the silo was actually used in a Star Trek movie, and is most
impressive up close.
It is amazing, and for me being born in 1956, it made the cold war much
more real and serious. The restoration was meticulous, with not just the
main bits, but all the normal clutter of manuals etc. on bookshelves. The
feeling going in is very much "time warp". Below are some links.

The PIMA air museum is also not far from Tucson, but I didn't bother to go
since I live so close to the main PIMA site in Chino, Cal.
