Whats going on this weekend at Fort Knox?
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.

Not sure, but if you see five Piper Cherokees flying in formation at low altitude, or any fat guys with German accents dressed as a U.S. Army General I'd get out quick. _________________ "All facts go to clearly prove that Shades is a thrice-cursed traitor & mentally deranged person steeped in inveterate enmity toward mankind"

DISCLAIMER: There will be no actual vehicles hurt in the Reenactment next weekend!! However there will be a lot of BOOMs, BANGs, RAT-TA-TA-TAT, some smoke & fumes, perhaps a few muttered curses in different languages ('YOU ARE DEAD....LAY DOWN', "VERDAMMT !!") and maybe be some 'Blue-Air' zooming by...... Whats this all mean?? Guess you need to stop in to see!!! See you on the battlefield Don

I was being sort of metaphorical about that. I know it's all pretend, like a movie minus the special effects and the fake blood.

I have pulled in a couple favors and am off duty next weekend and am really looking forward to coming to see the Patton Museum anniversary. I used to go in the late 70s and haven't been "up close and personal" to hear a running Sherman since. I love the growl of the Ford GAA engine, but I really love the sound of the Caddys in the M24. I haven't ever been present to hear a Stuart, then I also suppose there's all that Kraut stuff.

I'm getting excited to be there and shoot some photos.

Do we need an AFV News recognition signal? Red shirts? Paint our faces OD?

Gary
