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.

My wife asked me the question about what "booths" are going to be set up? I didn't have an answer, hopefully someone here will?

I'm not sure, but I will make some inquiries and let you know.

Usually there are a number of vendors who attend along with the numerous reenactor unit cantonement areas, so there is plenty to see and experience beside the demonstration program itself.

As for the Motor Pool,....ah, can't make any promises, but I'll see if perhaps an escorted 'tour' can be arranged in the afternoon.

The LST may be a stretch, due to limited personnel and a full day 'timeline' at Keyes Park.

Find me in the exhibit area, and we can see what time will allow.

Here are a couple of teasers from yesterdays prep-activities...





Tomorrow is the big set up day, weather is improving so should be a good weekend overall. I'll try to post updated photos at the end of each day. It may be late by the time I am able to get home and post that days photos.

Hope to see everyone attending, out on the field.
Regards
Don

Well guys, I'm about 60% of the way there. We've stopped for the night - should be in the AO about mid-day tommorrow (Fri).

I hope the weather clears - the computer weather "crystal ball" looks pretty good for the weekend except for the comment "scattered shows" for Sat. Maybe those won't come until evening Smile

I'm really looking forward to being there. I haven't made it to a Patton Museum shindig for about 30 years.

Photo and video cameras are loaded and ready - hoping to use both extensively but not be underfoot too badly.

I'll be driving the WC-51 towing an M1 anti-tank gun, unless there is a change in the script. I have no exceptional identifying features and I'll be dressed in green like a lot of people there. Smile

Hope to see some of you there.

Garry
