This is a model of unknown scale of the AGM-65C, one of several Maverick air-to-ground missiles. It had a solid-fuel motor, a 125 lb conventional warhead, and a laser guidance system. Flight testing of the AGM-65C began in 1977 by the U.S. Marine Corps, but it was replaced in 1982 by the AGM-65E.
The model's manufacturer is unknown. John and Cynthia Heyde donated it to the museum.
Gift of John S. and Cynthia H. Heyde.
