Sun Aug 09, 2009 9:06 am

Off topic but I think most folks here like this sort of thing, yesterday I went to the 34th Annual MVPA Convention at Evansville, Indiana also located in Evansville is LST-325 which participated in the Normandy invasion, DUKW's will be loaded onboard from the river up the forward ramp.. Here is a little of what was there , lots more jeeps and trucks. I saw only one tank but there could have been more. one of the best military swap meets i've seen. click here http://tinyurl.com/osa5mn

Interesting.....that big "bomb" on the cart in that picture is actually a drop tank for an Apache or Blackhawk helicopter. Heck, it's even sitting on the original plastic cradle that these tanks are shipped with. Pretty cool display though.

I had five of these particular tanks at one time and am down to only two now. I use this one for my "mobile fueling station."

Here is a couple more, I live here in Eville and my daughter was working the 4H concession stand everyday. I did not get to the chance to get to the show any of the days but got to see a few vehicles late Saturday.
