This is a Soyuz launch abort in 1983. In a very Soviet way of doing things the crew could not actuate an abort themselves and relied on the ground crew to do that.
 Soyuz Launch Escape Tower System I like how at 0:38 seconds into the video you can see an officer casually scratching his ear as if he was completely unfazed by the explosion happening in front of him. |

The Rocket brand was a Gagarin commemerative brand and the pic I posted above was the Sturmanski he wore in space, then also worn by Tereshkova went she went up. This will be a nice addition to my Omega moon watch. Turns out the Rocket factory is at Peterhof (the summer palace). I've been there, but didn't realize the watch factory was there too. I will need to get a tour next time I'm there. |

When completed, this site will be the U.S. Army's largest museum complex. We are projecting a 2025 opening.

The vehicles on display are the M4 Sherman, M26 Pershing, M48, M60A3, M1 Abrams, M3 Bradley, M113 ACAV, M114 and the M551 Sheridan. This is an open air walking trail located just outside the Fort Benning, GA entry gate on Benning Blvd (future site of the National Armor and Cavalry Museum and adjacent to the National Infantry Museum). The main collection is housed at a restoration and storage facility and is not opened to the public. Pattons Park will also see some much needed enhancements over the next 18 months that will include improved trails, vehicle pads and spaces for additional monuments. Please consider donating to our Pattons Park and Monument Walk Project. |

The vehicles on display are the M4 Sherman, M26 Pershing, M48, M60A3, M1 Abrams, M3 Bradley, M113 ACAV, M114 and the M551 Sheridan. This is an open air walking trail located just outside the Fort Benning, GA entry gate on Benning Blvd (future site of the National Armor and Cavalry Museum and adjacent to the National Infantry Museum). The main collection is housed at a restoration and storage facility and is not opened to the public.

Please consider donating to our Pattons Park and Monument Walk Project. They're actually moving the T28 into their new display building any day now.
