The Army told Ars on Sunday it was still looking for a 100-pound dummy missile that fell from an Apache helicopter flying early Friday from Fort Drum in northern New York to an air show at the Stewart International Airport in New Windsor.
The military said the M36 Captive Flight Training Missile is non explosive and non motorized, and is designed to simulate the weight of a real missile for training purposes. The Army said the 64-inch-long black missile was attached to a 10th Combat Aviation Brigade Apache helicopter as it was heading to the New York Air Show. It was last seen painted with the words "U.S. Army." It is designed to simulate a Hellfire guided missile that the Apache uses in combat.
The government is asking anybody with information on the device's whereabouts to call Fort Drum's 10th Mountain Division Operations Center at 315-772-6324.
