How many people are going to the NMAW/VMMV Open House this weekend? It should be a good show as always! Smile

I sent RSVP today, for Saturdays show. I'm bringing the wife (she likes historical events) and hope to get a few photos. Weather looks ok so far! Maybe we'll see you there. Rick

What a great show! I shot over 200 photos. The Swedish "S" tanks, Swiss, British, French, Russian, and American armor collecion was amazing. German Hetzer (G13), trucks, jeeps, artillery, helicopters. Live demonstrations. I went expecting only a few vehicles and was suprised at the vast amount they've gathered so far! Good job VMMV and American Wartime Museum! Rick

Hello Rick,
Nice pictures! Do you maybe have a picture of the serial of the T-72M1, I have only the last 6...

Regards,
Lesley

Hi Lesley,
Sorry, this year I concentrated on overall photos and few close ups. Next year I plan on staying over night in the area. I was having van (car) problems and only stayed 2 hours. I will attach a few more T72M1 photos. Rick

A few more photos.

Thanks, the T-72 looks very well maintained!

Lesley,
The T72 was in excellent shape. It's an ex-East German vehicle like all other items (ex-Soviet) except the T55 which is ex-Czech (information from restorers) The VMMV should be commended for the great job they do in bringing them back to life! Here's a few more photos. Rick
