One more thing to look at. . . Road Trip (From D. C.)! Question though: It's my understanding that the Atlas Missile need to be fueled when upright (for Structural reasons). If this so, how are you supporting it in an upright position?

This one has an internal structure or frame inside.

​@@USAFmuseum Was the frame added recently or was it already there when the missile was outside?
