1/14/13 - A Fenton man will have his unusual souvenir of the Cold War featured this week on an A&E broadcast of Shipping Wars. Robert Reigle is the owner of a 31-foot-long Polaris missile, which he purchased from a New York museum and then had shipped last September to Signs by Crannie in Flushing Township. Reigle owns Military Vehicles Web, which buys and sells military equipment from across the world, often renting or reselling the items to movie production companies, museums and private owners. In the case of the missile, it was bought to be used as a prop in a movie. A&E decided to feature the missileâs move on Shipping Wars after Reigle contacted the network. The reality show follows six independent shippers across the country as they transport unique, high-ticket items. The Polaris missile was a 21,500-pound solid-fuel, nuclear-armed, submarine-launched ballistic missile built during the Cold War. The Shipping Wars episode featuring Reigleâs deactivated missile is set to air this Wednesday at 10 p.m. (JK)
