National Museum of Americans in Wartime Open house AUG 17,18
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.

I was there last year for the display on Saturday, August 17, very worthwhile. I'm taking some vacation that week and have committed to this event and hope to visit Quantico USMC Museum the day before. Any others going? Rick

Hi Chris, If you change your mind and decide on Saturday let me know and we could meet there. I just scheduled to be off Friday Aug. 16, through the following week. I'll post some photos like last year. Rick

Ah too bad, Rick. I have to work until 7 on Friday, then it's a 6-ish hour trip so Saturday's out for us. Last edited by Chris_C on Thu Jul 18, 2013 1:40 am; edited 1 time in total

- Chris_C Ah to bad, Rick. I have to work until 7 on Friday, then it's a 6-ish hour trip so Saturday's out for us. I just want to say that you have a wicked cool avatar. I'd pay good money to have my most recent set of wheels in that pose.

I went to the show again this year, great demonstrations, and as always plenty of armor. Met Chris_C and his Wife, nice folks! I took 300 plus photos of the event and if I could find serial numbers I shot them too. Aberdeen may have folded, but this will eventually overshadow it in quantity of historical vehicles shown, and preserved. For softskin fans there were plenty of jeeps Hummers etc. shown too. I look forward to when Mr. Allan D. Cors and his crew of great Volunteers open the National Museum of Americans in Wartime in the future! Rick
