USAHEC Heritage Trail Photo Gallery
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Simply outstanding. Does the Trail allow blank civilians in?

Paul and Loren, thanks for sharing USAHEC photos. Great views!

JWB2, Check out Us Army Heritage and Education Center web site for visiting details. This is next to the US Army War College and much easier for civilian access. The old Military History Institute (MHI) was much harder to access (at least back in the 1980s) as it shared grounds of US Army War College. Inside the buildings are FT-17 tank, and rotating displays. They also have many books and allow research, just be sure to check hours of operation and rules before visit. Rick

Great pictures Paul and Loren! The M60A1 is SN 6053, RN 09A12771. She was in the Fort Knox collection Motor Pool prior to the Benning move. Was wondering where she ended up. _________________ Joe_D

Made a mistake

,

Got to looking closer at the pictures, The M60A1 is actually SN 6241, RN 09A05172. Right side #1 and #2 road wheels have 1 each lug stud broken off and the #3 Arm is a modified #1 arm with an M88 hub installed. This tank used to be parked on the corner of Brave Rifles and Wilson Drive at Fort Knox next to the XM803 PIGG test rig. Didn't make sense that SN 6053 was there as a static display, she was a runner from what I remember. Glad she is being well taken care of.

Cool gallery. Walter, I am trying to record the numbers for WW II german artillery, but I am not 100% sure where to look. You should assemble some instructions and post them here: www.com-central.net/in...2&start=45 Massimo

Last week I uploaded Windows 10, this week I need to learn how to load photos here on Com-Central! Anyway, I finally learned how to load my flickr account: www.flickr.com/photos/brick6757 . I was at Ft. Indiantown Gap, and US Army Heritage and Education Center yesterday. Check my flickr account for new information on it and a page about Ft. Miles, DE (was there today) Artillery Park to open Spring 2016. I hope to load some photos from there later today. As for Windows 10, some features I like, some not, still much to learn. Rick

M60A1, M46, M4A3E8 Sherman, have new paint jobs or slight add on markings (M46). Also, new display is Lance Missile on towed launch platform.
