I ask myself every day!

we are talking thousands of vehicles at just this one site.

The 82nd Airborne Museum on Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. The Director wanted a picture of it, I used to drive it to work. During All American week I would park it in the Division area for our WWII vets. I do have some good comparison pictures of my truck and one of my Company's cargo HMMV's. Funny how similar they are.

Thought I would share this pic (especially for you Dodge guys!) http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q47/Gustav61/DSC00020.jpg[/img]

The BIG scrap yard, US of A! I have a lot more pictures, the guy that owns them has three 14 acre plots....vehicles parked wheel to wheel, also a whole bunch of Choppers.

Couple more shots

Me and a few M38's, carryall last summer. Have a few other pictures of other vehicles.

A bit off vehicle type but.....when I was a 2LT in a mech infantry unit (1/18 INF) we used to heat up our MRE's (meals ready to eat) by taking them out of the box, rolling up the foil packet and feeding up to six of them down the exhaust pipe of a M35 Duce. This was of course just running at idle, in about five minutes we would hit the throttle and blow all the MRE packs out (it really launches them!)....only problem was soot would cover the packs so you could not read the contents, so the Joe's would cut them open and the "you got mine, here's yours" would begin.

Looks like a aircraft mock-up used for pre-jump training (troop exits/actions in the aircraft) replicating the old flying boxcar.... we had C-130 replicas on wheels that retracted so as we went through pre-jump the platform would be stable.

Hi, Big welcome! From a "Sooner" in London! Great posts!

look like the fuel blivits we use now!

one of my buddies in North Carolina has one. He showed me some wartime pictures of one being loaded onto a cargo plane. My understanding is they were used in the Pacific Theater due to the island hopping campain, but they required more than one A/C to transport them.

you need to go to Ft. Bragg for "All American Week" (82nd Vets) usually in May, although it has been canceled a couple of time because the Division was in Iraq and A-stan. We have a week long celebration of our veterans and Division. Each Regiment sponsors her vets, I was in the 505th so I got to hear some great stories. My first year in Division there were hundreds of WWII 82nd vets there, were even had a large contingent of WWII British Paras march in the "Pass in Review" with us.

that is, a great momento!

No Dice! None of our "Victors" are marked with the red cross. 'bout the only time you will see them is when the ICRC shows up to check out detainees. I have not even seen DUSTOFF with them. They use ambulance configured Blackhawks in OD green. I Did see quite a few Green Cresent vehicles in Gulf I and A-stan
