Here is a Sherman that was still at the Ft Knox / Gen Patton Armor Museum in 2011
I believe this one is now down at Ft Benning    There wasn't much for armor left when I was there, these two were about to be loaded up   |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I was driving through Gallatin, TN last year and out at the airport was this F-4. I know nothing about it other than its an F-4. http://static.panoramio.com/photos/original/44334843.jpg F-4C from the Edwards AFB test fleet. I tried pulling the tail number but couldn't get anything. It may have been the first AF F-4 test aircraft. It looks like a 1963 purchase and wikipedia says the first F-4C flew in May 1963. This vould be a really historic aircraft. Or, it could be a run-of-the-mill ANG beater with a cool paint job.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
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. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Vok5YTvUY2c/VWt14okMoFI/AAAAAAAAsiU/IxMdRi5kKEs/s1600/Lewistown*Missile.jpg (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. Mig 17s flying are quite common. There are 2 at EFD in Houston, there are 2 that live in the HAMM maintenance hangar in Tyler, Texas. My buddy, who owns one of the 17s at EFD also owns the only flying Mig 15 in the US. |

This is the "Missing Man" formation on Hickam Air Force Base Hawaii. the story behind the neutered tails are that at the time this was built, base command did not want planes too accurate to preserve secret info. But ironically, there were F22 plastic scale models in the local hobby shop that depicted proper airframe shapes. I think they should have just used a classic airframe like P-51s
