Cordele is the site of the Confederate Air Force Pad No. 1
Holding 98', this giant missile was dismantled in California and flown to Warner Robins Air Force Base. The missile was then transported along I-75 to Cordele.
The Rotary Club of Cordele initiated this project, a dream of its President, John S. Pate, Jr. The dream became reality when Confederate Air Force Pad No. 1 was christened July 17, 1969. The residents of Cordele and Crisp County celebrated the 40th anniversary of "Titan 1 Missile" on July 18, 2008.
The Titan was donated to the Cordele Rotary Club by the Federal government. The Rotary donated it to Cordele and Crisp County.
