June 16, 1966: as the AS-500F Saturn-5 checkout vehicle is on launch pad 39A, a Titan-3C launches 8 military spacecraft from neighbouring pad 41. The secret payload was �engaged in investigation of spaceflight techniques and technology�, according to the USAF press service. PR people who release information like that should be fired.

This is one I have seen but nonetheless a great shot!

Wasn't this the first flight of Titan 3/launch from pad 41?
