The phrase "at the cape" is particularly enlightening; if you'd bother to read the story at all, one which has been covered in great detail over the past few months on this very board, you would know that the purported launch site wasn't "the cape" at all, but in actual fact Vandenberg AFB. This I think proves beyond all doubt, that you don't know the fist thing about the story, and you are just another armchair sceptic bandwagon jumper.

There never was a USAF Saturn IB or V no USAF launch pads for them
I don't know what you see but there is a service module in that picture.
And a Saturn V was never launched from a Saturn IB pad, even for NASA
Also that is a NASA Saturn V and there are no others. either the picture has been modified or more than likely ice is covering the roll stripes
A Saturn V could have launched if from VAFB if a pad was constructed

Well if you were aware of the problems why then did you say it was launched fromt here knowing all long it was not possible? Hell I knew they had no pads to launch it and that was the reason I never mentioned vandberg to begin with duh.

I got the launch history that included minutemen,titans,atlas,thors, but could not find a saturn, but the site said it will not include any classified launches.
A veteran of three space flights, Culbertson has logged over 144 days in space. He was pilot of STS-38 aboard Atlantis, a classified mission for the Department of Defense in November 1990.

There have been ten DOD dedicated shuttle launches. They are STS 51C, 51J, 27, 28, 33, 36, 38, 39, 44, and 53 (STS, which stands for Space Transportation System, also known as the Space Shuttle). Many of these missions remain secret even today Source

I fail to see how repeating that which has gone before in an apparent attempt to appear knowledgeable helps anyone on this site.

I was not trying to appear knowlegable as you claim keep in mind everyone does not read every thread on this site therefore duplication happens. Something you have to learn to live with.
