Interesting. Didn't intend to hijack thread thread, but it all is cool stuff to me.

Holy Cow, that is cool.

A lot of myths out there for sure. Has anyone ever determined proof of any M715s in Vietnam? Kinda reminds me of the short-lived experience of M114s in Vietnam with the ARVN. That didn't last long at all.

Actually, the Aussies never sent any Ferrets to Vietnam. This is documented in the book "Mud & Dust" as well as the Australian War Memorial archives. We researched is years back when there were reports of Aussies using Saladins in Vietnam as well, which never happened, either.

BTW, your old Scorpion now has a live gun...

Looks nice. Did the USAF really do the wheels black?

Very cool. Ferret was a bit out of place, though. What's with the camo on that thing?

True, true. Easy to miss. Do it all the time.

Starts at 10:00 as stated.

This is a pretty substantial parade with a lot of spectators honoring our fallen. Any MVs are very welcomed. May 27, 9:00am at Smith Park, N. Main St. Parade begins at 10 and proceeds to Woodside Cemetery on S. Verity. Finishes by 11:30.

There have been MBTs sent sky high with buried IEDs, killing everyone, and this was many years ago. Shaped charges or simply enough of a charge will defeat anything. It is pure folly to believe any armor offers total protection.

A period am radio and some Playboys or Life magazines are always cool, too. But don't over do it all. It begins to look silly.

I've had a 710M for 7 years. Wife loves to drive it, too, and we've maintained it properly. Had zero problems, and that includes serious off-roading in Kentucky and several long cross-country trips.

Thats a 155mm not a 105mm.

Wayne's show was awesome! I miss it, too. Alot.

Be sure to replace the fluid flywheel seal while you have it all apart.

As with EVERYTHING, both have advantages and disadvantages. If you fancy driving around, there is nothing exciting about an Abbot. Heavy, slow, like an artillery peice it is. The BMP on the otherhand is designed to be quick and manuverable, and it is.

Very nice.

Haspin Acres and Ropkey's Rally are two I can think of...

Unless some investor steps up and contracts for a new run of tracks in Israel or France, the future does not look good for any US Halftrack. I'd love to have one but this reason alone keeps that from ever happening.
