Tank Museum

6/18/2010

Mrs. Bunkermeister and I visited a local museum recently.

It's great to get out and look at real live tanks once in a while.


This American M-47 tank from the late 1950's had big eyes painted on the two rangefinder bulges. Very cute.


An Improved Tow Vehicle, on the hull of the good old M-113. I remember when these were new, and now in a museum.



An M-7 Priest, the US 105 mm field howitzer mounted on a Sherman tank chassis. An important vehicle in WWII. I like seeing these tanks, it's like a large size Roco catalog!
