National WW2 Museum
Some highlights from this great museum! B17s are a special favorite in our family. My wife and I got married on one....in flight!
This particular M3 is a favorite of mine. It is the first half track I ever drove and worked on...before it was sold to the museum. It looks terrific now!
This is a fine example of the first light tank I ever drove...under extremely trying circumstances, but that's a story for another time.
This is a fine example of the first medium tank I ever drove. In fact the first historic military vehicle I ever drove was the Sherman. I was hooked after that!
I had the privilege of pulling and backing one of these with my 42 International M3-4. I must say, it looked great hooked to my truck.
If you ever get a chance to set one of these up, the business of dropping the carriage is a dangerous one.

Re: National WW2 Museum
Yeah, you're right about that!
Truth is, taking pictures was secondary to enjoying the museum.
It's a great museum and if you ever get the chance to visit...DO IT!

Re: National WW2 Museum
I would love to go but I see a LOT of stairs, I can't do stairs. Is it handicap accessible? Are there elevators to the different levels. I went to the website and they give no information at all.

Re: National WW2 Museum
They have added since I visited last. Great pictures.
Re: National WW2 Museum
I may have a chance to get back there pretty soon. I can't wait!
It might interest you to know that their half track came from San Antonio. It belonged to a guy I knew. When he sold it, that brought the number of operational half tracks in the area down to two. I've driven it and worked on it but they brought it to a whole new level of goooooood. It's very pretty now.
Cheers,
TJ
