stay away from the wreck because there was a nuke weapon onboard
Was not Bill Weaver, but Ken Collins in the first A-12 to be lost. He was picked up by three lads in a pickup truck and given a lift, and they had his cockpit canopy in the back. He told them that it was an F-105, and is still listed in official reports as such, with a nuke on board. The A-12 did not "exist" at that time. Site cleaned up in two days.
