LAKELAND, Fla. A live air-to-air missile discovered at a Central Florida airport has been secured in a munition storage facility at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa. The unarmed French S-530 air-to-air missile was found Lakeland Linder International Airport on on Friday. It is secured and safe and they are just waiting on when and where they are going to dispose of the missile. But this one is too large to do that at MacDill, so the disposal logistics are being planned out. The missile was found near Draken International, a defense contractor located at the airport.
