What does it take to get a local VFW post anything like this, demilled armor, artillery, anything, probably not any airframe though. Archived thread http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=8&f=21&t=452777 If you are in the VFW or Legion look up your Post Operations Manual and it should have the "how to" in there. The Legion Post in West Seattle has a WWI era howitzer. Data plate on the side reads: '1918 Dodge Bros' |

All very cool!
But I'm also always more than a little sad, that these once proud war machines are now just static displays. I feel the same way at museums. Machines are made to be "alive" (in a way), and while it's cool to see them... they lose something vital, just sitting there. Tall Shadow |

There's a small town near me that has quite a collection, they have let go with a few over the years, most notable was a F4U that was used in the series Black Sheep Squadrin, they still have a F86, Piascki H21, M3A1, M8, a bunch of Cold War era surface to air missles, a towed 40mm Bor Fors? I need to get over and take pictures. It's crazy a town of 1000 or so?

One of the best air museums I've ever been to is the Tyler Historic Aviation Memorial Museum. The planes are good for a small museum, but their memorabilia is awesome. Like, autographed photos of both Wright brothers and Glenn Curtis in one picture rare. Plus, the only flying Mig17 in the US is based there. I've got a great picture
And their WWII stuff is jaw-dropping. The story they told us is a Tyler native was on the PACFLT staff in Hawaii as an intel guy. He made three copies of every photo that crossed his desk--one for the Admiral, one for the files, and one for the footlocker he took home. The pics and documents they had were rare to unicorn-rare, to say the least. Like Copy 2 of 2 of the Strategic Bombing Survey of the Pacific Theater of Operations (post-war survey of what we did right and wrong with the tactics and strategy of the air war in the Pacific) rare. Then there's the only Minuteman missile on static display not on a base or former base. 
(looks like crap, it's since been restored.) Malmstrom AFB was the first Minuteman base. They put the silos there VERY far apart, as they didn't know what the Soviets had for accuracy. The wing there was so big (the size of West Virginia), that they envisioned Lewistown, Cut Bank, and Glasgow as remote squadron headquarters (that plan eventually changed). No one really knows how the missile got there, except that the airframe itself is from 1969. |

I am going to make my boys work a weekend this summer polishing a C-47 with a group of volunteers. 
The missile on display at the museum here is a Minuteman 2. I will have to take some new pics of it. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM2BE4_Minuteman_II_Fargo_North_Dakota There is also a Minuteman on display in GF. It is at the gate to GFAFB. But technically not on the base. 
Even so, My wife and I were still questioned by SP for taking photos.

A stones through from my right now.. My old HS Auto Shop teacher (Retired Army Bird) got these put in town for a static Display, http://www.ci.cloquet.mn.us/vertical/Sites/%7B77C3A693-7604-40A4-BB25-DF2131FEB671%7D/uploads/%7BE1DE0148-5299-4ABB-BA53-4BF5F54D8EFC%7D.JPG It pains me to see the tanks I drove, loaded, gunned and commanded on static display.
Before I transferred downstate I had free run up at Ft. Drum. They had a whole slew of tanks of the M48 pattern ready for the A10's. It was sad and eerie to see the old tanks herringboned on the gated range road and tucked into the tree line on their last road march. I took the opportunity to take a look through them. When I was in the guard I was in a tank unit with M60A3's and even though I was a mortar man I'd been inside the M60. Well those M48's were fricken tiny inside. My fat ass barely went in the loader's hatch. |
