I was lucky enough to pay a visit to the Mountain last week. A truly fascinating, impressive and iconic complex, but it has to move with the times. There's no need for a centralised hardened shelter for the US's missile and air defence systems because the Cold War threat has gone. NORAD will move to the nearby Peterson AFB which seemed to me to have plenty of space to spare!

Still, it is the passing of an era.
