Another one for Joe D-Conway, SC M60A3
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.

We went up to visit Coastal Carolina University while we're here, and I used that opportunity to catch another unconfirmed Patton. Location listed is correct, C/1-263rd Armor, SC ARNG Armory, 1621 16th Ave, Conway, SC; Coordinates 33.839412,-79.065975

M60A3 SN 1884, RN JJ069B

What is this thing? I'd thought it was unique to this tank, but looking at my other M60 photos I realize most of them had this as well, I'd just never noticed before.

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing them. It's a M60A3. You can tell by the wind sensor on the turret bustle, the main gun thermal sleeve and the laser range finder cover on the right side sight blister. The box in your last picture is the interphone box. _________________ Chris "toadman" Hughes www.toadmanstankpictures.com www.cafepress.com/toad...ksandstuff

One of the last batch of New M60A3's built in Detroit, That's why there's no "A" or "M" behind the number. _________________ Joe_D
