Hey David,
Holy crap, I like your kind of get togethers! Nice shots for sure. (that's a pun ) :wink: I've never been sea sick, but riding inside an APC might get the best of me. Looks like fun was had by all. Luv those pics

Nicest 113s I've seen! I had 6 of them in Ft Hood, had a real blast "test driving" them :wink: :wink:

Do you swim them? We weren't allowed due to some reg , seems a few of them sunk when operators left the belly pan plugs out.

Oh the memories, I had to replace 2 packs with only a red chem light, some Lt. decided to get all tactical with me in NTC.

Never taken them for a swim. Usually when we're out, theres never water or adequate recovery options if something goes wrong.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Track B23 also has 2 full auto 60s :D

2 of the tracks took about 2 years each to restore. Track B23 we believe was actualy either in Vietnam or more than likely stayed stateside. We've found information and photos of tracks in vietnam made only 10 numbers before B23 and later received retooling/updrades but maintianed some early features.

That is interesting to see that many privately owned M113s in one place but to also have them all restored to the same time frame (no one decided to do a camo paint job on theirs) and configuration. Thanks for posting (I used to own an M59) and oh yeah, I'm jellious :mrgreen: :wink: .

Oh, wow. That is amazing. Not one, but 3?! I would be logistically overwhelmed by the ownership of one of those. My buddy has a halftrack, and if he didn't live out in the sticks, it wouldn't get used much. it is a major event to get it anywhere. How do you transport those to where you want to drive them?
