VFW Post 7232 - Eau Clare, WI - M60A3 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.

Nothing says "Do not climb on this display" like chain link fence topped with barbed wire.

I suppose that sort of fencing might make sense with an aircraft, but I can't imagine what even the most determined vandal would be able to do to merit such protection on a tank!

They should get the 'Get off my lawn' award. Talk about overkill, unless they had problems in the past with vandals... _________________ Guy

Preventing lawsuits on the legal doctrine of attractive nuisance. The tank is, after all, in the "Sue ess A".

Which is so sad. Back in the day, surplused tanks and aircraft were a regular fixture at municipal parks precisely for the kids to play on. Rolling Eyes

The tanks would have sealed hatches, but the aircraft often had the canopies removed specifically so you could get in the seat and play Steve Canyon.
