Thank you to Charles D. Carter for contributing this photo and identifying the location of these Nike Hercules missiles manned by Battery D, 2nd Missile Battalion, 52nd Artillery of the U. S. Army. Battery D was stationed out in the open at or near the current Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport from 1962 to the summer of 1965 when they relocated the battery and missiles to the Krome Avenue site which is now the INS detention facility. The Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport was built in the late 1960's to replace the original Tamiami Airport which was on Tamiami Trail and donated by the county to Florida International University so they could build their main and original campus there. The replacement new Tamiami Airport was renamed to Kendall-Tamiami Executive Airport in the early 1990's to give Kendall residents a sense of ownership of the airport, even though the vast majority of them moved out there many years after the airport opened.
