My fault its been ages ago. There was an entrance going to a comand center and a mound and large truck size blast door's. The door leading to the comand center was bent from the inside out. And there was a high ranking Lt Col along with several others that chased us out and followed us on the highway. We got away but. Scared us
When I went there at age 19. We got chased by Military on four wheelers. That was 20 some years ago. There was a concrete lid that they use to seal the missiles along with several other airlock or some big metal lid in rows of eight.
Cool walk through, something that could get you prosecuted by the federal government or the airport. There are a few comments either in the video or on the page that are not correct. First, the towers housed radar targeting equipment, and the top platforms were for the rotating antenna commonly associated with ground radar. The Nike area those in the video are walking through was actually the launch control facility, The missile launchers and concrete containment bunkers were located about a mile away, in an area now occupied by Mary Immaculate Hospital and its parking lot. The entire area, from the hospital (Denbigh Blvd) to the airport property was known as Camp Patrick Henry for 1942 until its decommission in 1946. During that time is was the point of embarkation/debarkation for troops heading to the European and Japanese war theaters during WWII, and also was a German and Italian POW camp. Around 1948 the eastern area was ceded to the city of Newport News and PAC (Peninsula Airport Commission) to build the area's first true airport. The area was never a "neighborhood" as suggested by someone in the video. All of the street or dirt road paths were actually streets inside of Camp Patrick Henry. Go to this link ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Patrick_Henry ) to learn about this area, which includes a map that you can compare the camp streets to Google Maps satellite imaging, where you can still see the remaining streets "image" in the trees. The name of the airport is the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport, formerly the Patrick Henry Airport, named that originally as a memorial to the massive and uniqueness of the historical camp. There is a historical marker at the airport between the parking lot and passenger terminal entrance...

Those big tower's were just cranes used to hold missiles in position to be launched. The mound is a place where they keep the missiles. Which is gone I see. Its been along time since we went there. We got chased all the way to the ferry to North Carolina. Because the Virginia turnpike was still being retrofitted.
@@eastcoastexploring278 hey i was actually there today, some has changed and appears a homeless person has set up camp ontop of the tower closest to the road that you walk in on, was wondering if you would want to exchange info and hit up some more places or maybe do a follow up vid how its changed in a year, im also trying to get access legally to one in Chesapeake that is is much much better condition
@@explorerone3752 I know which one you're talking about in Chesapeake. you could see part of it from the bridge when you're coming across one of the bridge tunnel Bridges. It's really fenced-off really well. I don't know anybody who's actually made it back there but I'd love to go back there at some time too
A community college campus that I went to was a Nike Air Force base

That's not something you see every day, cool find! My luck the do not open box would be full of bees
Hey where is this place?
My two friends brought me here. I can't remember specifically but if you search it on the web and Google Earth you'll see it near a milliary base
