FORT DRUM, NY - A "dummy" missile lost during a flight in late August has been recovered and returned to Fort Drum. On August 28th, between the hours of 9:00 am and 10:30 am on August 28th, an Apache (AH64) helicopter from the 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, 10th Mountain Division en route to Stewart International Airport, NY from Fort Drum lost an inert (non-explosive) M36 Captive Flight Training Missile (see photo attached). The training aide is not explosive or motorized. It is used to simulate the weight of a missile load during flight. The M36 Captive Training Missile was found by a farmer while mowing a field in Martinsburg, NY on Friday, September 4. Upon recognizing the object as the lost dummy missile he contacted Fort Drum officials who were able to recover the item completely. "The cooperation we received from the local farmer is indicative of the great relationship we have with the North Country community. No doubt, it's a pretty neat souvenir - but he did the right thing and called us so we could recover the lost government property. We are very grateful to him," said Colonel Michael C. McCurry, Commander, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, U.S. Army Fort Drum & 10th Mountain Division. |
