French air-to-air missile accidentally sent to Florida airport

A French-made air-to-air missile was discovered at a commercial airport in Florida, according to reports.

Members of the 6th EOD team from MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa were dispatched to Lakeland Linder International Airport Friday to handle the Matra 530 missile delivered in a shipment to Draken International.

“Our EOD team went out and secured the missile,” Air Force 1st Lt. Brandon Hanner, a spokesman for the 6th Air Refueling Wing, told Military Times. “It was live, but unarmed.”
