Neil's Notebook Hawaii and N. Korean missile threat
June 18, 2009
A recent new reports about a possible July 4 test missile firing by North Korea aimed toward Hawaii has led to orders from Defense Secretary Robert Gates to use a missile defense system that was successfully tested at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) at Barking Sands, Kauai.
You may read a Honolulu Advertiser article about the move by Gates and see video of Neil, chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Air and Land Forces with jurisdiction over the Air Force and Army, visiting PMRF last year and another video with a bird's-eye view of an actual test missile launch.
