Question for Dontos
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'll pick up a "Cheese Head" and use it for a safety helmet while I'm there. Thanks, Joe D

That hard target area, is that for "indirect fire" such as the much coveted Mortars! They dont seem to look as if tank or A-10's had hit them lately?! _________________ SFC Jeff Button "High Angle Hell"

Hi, Dontos: I'm sure it was just a coincidence that the little Studebaker Weasel enjoys Pride of Place in your photo of Fort McCoy's Contemplative Area sign. Yeah, I'm sure. Russ

Jeff The sandy area that has a couple of stripped out ITV's, M114s, and an M551 is not in an impact area. The vehicles show no signs of being hit by any live fire. Russ, the photo angle was purely a coincidence. I took it as I walked into the static display area, from the parking lot. _________________ "Gonna hold my breath until Armor returns home..."
