Not sure, but if you see five Piper Cherokees flying in formation at low altitude, or any fat guys with German accents dressed as a U.S. Army General I'd get out quick.

Whats going on this weekend at Fort Knox?

Nothing is happening this weekend. The big show is next weekend, May 30-31. We're not even working this Saturday since it is a holiday weekend.

Oh good,

I thought it was this weekend too and was going to miss it. Now I most likely will be able to attend Smile

DISCLAIMER:

There will be no actual vehicles hurt in the Reenactment next weekend!!

However there will be a lot of BOOMs, BANGs, RAT-TA-TA-TAT, some smoke & fumes, perhaps a few muttered curses in different languages ('YOU ARE DEAD....LAY DOWN', "VERDAMMT !!") and maybe be some 'Blue-Air' zooming by...... Shocked

Whats this all mean?? Cool

Guess you need to stop in to see!!! Wink

See you on the battlefield

I was being sort of metaphorical about that. I know it's all pretend, like a movie minus the special effects and the fake blood. Wink

I have pulled in a couple favors and am off duty next weekend and am really looking forward to coming to see the Patton Museum anniversary. I used to go in the late 70s and haven't been "up close and personal" to hear a running Sherman since. I love the growl of the Ford GAA engine, but I really love the sound of the Caddys in the M24. I haven't ever been present to hear a Stuart, then I also suppose there's all that Kraut stuff.

I'm getting excited to be there and shoot some photos.

Do we need an AFV News recognition signal? Red shirts? Paint our faces OD?
