Elizabethtown M109
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.

My friend Tom Dinackus let me know there is an AFV in Kentucky we had missed. Not only that, but its in E-town!

"M109A2 or A3 SP 155mm Howitzer, and it is located at the KY ARNG Armory in Elizabethtown. It is on West Warfield Street at the intersection with Churchill Court, just off of North Miles Street (one of the fairly major streets in Elizabethtown and the street where the M114A1 is located). The unit is Det. 2, 203 Fwd Spt Co."

I'd say it was either an A3 or A4. The only way to really check externally is to peek underneath and see if there are any drains under the fighting compartment. _________________ TTFN Jim If your not a member of JED then your not serious about anything military.. ********************* www.jedsite.info JED Military Equipment *********************

I tried to get all around shots for the version ID, wasn't sure of any tell-tale details. I'll check for the drains. The Armory is 'tightly' tucked away in a residential neighborhood, besides small road sign on Mulbury St, its easily overlooked. Not the typical location of an Armory. Especially one with a static display. Regards Don
