I'm guessing they're about $60,000 each, and it would probably be
cheaper to fire cash at the balloons. The plus side is that the recovery
effort would be much quicker.
I was wondering why the US Air Force was in Canada anyway.

The missiles are new old stock. I bet the value is barely $250,000!
The Air Force needed something to clear out the old inventory.

Just think. *Each* of the missiles fired at the balloon or balloons
cost about half a million dollars.

I would like to meet the ham who paid for that balloon. Must be
flush with cash.

LOVE IT!
BTW, the Naval Academy's midshipmen balloon experiment site (linked
under the pico balloon picture) is extremely interesting. I'm not a
"ballooner," but that site piqued my interest!
