Nope, not at Whiteman.  I had a tour there with one of the missle squadrons. 
Long story --  I was a missile candidate when in AFROTC at Purdue.  During my
senior year, I went to visit relatives in Kansas City during Thanksgiving.  I
called the base, and arranged for a tour.  Great folks.  Couldn't get me
down to visit a LCC (launch control center).  Had to be cleared by SAC HQ, and
they didn't have enough time.  Spent a very interesting day.  Whiteman has
Minuteman-IIs.

I believe that the MXs are either at F.E. Warren or Malmstrom.
