Titan Final Stats

The last Titan 4B (B-26) flew today from Vandenberg AFB SLC 3E.
It was the 368th Titan launch since the first Titan 1 launch on
Feb 6, 1959. More than 500 Titans were manufactured all told.
Brain cramp alert: The final Titan launch was from Space
Launch Complex 4 East, not SLC 3 East. SLC 3 East is now
refurbished to handle Atlas V. The long-serving Titan 4
pad at SLC 4 East will now be demolished along with the
SLC 4 West Titan 2 pad.
Here is the final Titan record. This list includes failures
of all types, including many that did not involve the Titan
stages themselves.
