Default Slighty OT-A Cruise Missille In Flight

Hi Folks,

First off, apologize for the long URLs.

Was visiting a geek site the other day, and ran across a really cool
shot. It is a shot of a cruise missile in flight. The addy for this
shot, located on Google maps, is as follows:

I found that this was really neat, and wanted to share it with everyone.
It's not real often when something like this would happen. I decided
to research where this shot was taken. As best I can figure, it was
taken north of Circleville Utah. Here is the page where I ended up:

I will yield to anyone who is a "local" to southwest or south central
Utah. I don't know where this missile was headed. I was stationed at
Hill AFB (a.k.a. "Hill Field") for four years, but I'm not very
conversant in that part of the state. I just thought that the folks in
this NG would find it interesting.

Enjoy.

Rick
