M3A1 Stuart & M18 Hellcat At A Antique Aeroplane Fly In

[Steve Greenberg]

Hello,
I took my M3A1 Stuart tank along with a friends M18 Hellcat to the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum in Hood River, Oregon this weekend. That is about 50 miles east or Portland, Oregon. There was a GPW, Dodge command car and Humvee on display as well. There were about 150 old airplanes on display with a few WWII military planes: Steerman's and trainers. The airplanes owners really enjoyd seeing the military vehicles on display. Some were amazed that tanks used radial engines! Here are links to a couple of videos. The first video was on the way home from the fly in yesterday and the second video is my Stuart and M18 Hellcat running at out annual club picnic today.

Thanks!

Thanks for doing that... it really helps people contemplate our military men and women's sacrifice...

Most people have no appreciation for how much work is involved in moving armored equipment, but it pays real dividends, especially when you see kids eyes light up!

Doggone it, i'll miss it again, but this time by only one day! I fly into Pasco on 9/11 (no hog fat-eating terrorists gonna stop America) and land around midnight. Maybe next year i'll get to see it. Hope you have a good time.
