From Facebook- this was the ferry flight to Castle AFB to put the B-47 in the collection. 1986. My brother had a Dodge like it in high school, but his was purple.

From the rumors flying around, the group at TOM was the largest gathering of halftracks in the US since WWII. There were 17 or 18 I counted. I'll try to get more pictures up later, here is one from the 'battle' in Downtown Belleville Friday evening.
