What armor have YOU seen?!

As the Shermster mentioned, UK equipment en route to Alberta.

Plus Bovington Museum, Worthy memorial, and someothers a long time ago which I cannot remember now.

During my 21 years in the army I was a crew member of the following vehicles: M60A1, M551, M48A5, M60A1 Rise Passive, M1, M1A1, M1A1 HA, M113A1 and M577. I've been to 3 different U.S. Army museums and the German museum at Munster Lager. I had the honor of working closely with UK troops using FV 432's, Challenger I and Chieftan. Germans using Leo IA4 and Leo II. Dutch with the same and French troops using AMX 30.

Seen what was on display at:
- The Patton Museum (excluding the stuff which is in the storage buildings, didn't have enough time, maybe next time)
- Aberdeen Proving Grounds
- Borden Museum
- Shilo Museum (including the William Gregg Collection)
- Museum of the Regiments in Calgary
- Abrams at Fort Knox
- Various base "sentinals" throughout Canada
- Trainload of modern British equipment heading to training base at Suffield
- Various modern German equipment training at Shilo

I'm a Platoon Sgt. in the New York National Guard and I've crewed M60A3 and M-1IP, M1A1 and M1A2. Rode M-113 and M-109. Been in a M2A2 and Climbed all over a Challenger I. Seen..Hmmm Everything in the Patton museum. Russian tanks, T-72, 62, 55, PT-76, BMD and the T-34. IFVs the BMP1 & 2, BTR 60, MTLB and a BRDM. German tanks Leopard II.

Countless pieces that I have seen in real life and museums.

I have operated M728 CEV, M48 and M60 hulled AVLB, M48A5, M1, M1IP, M1A1, M1A1HA, M1A2, M60A3TTS, M113A2, M113A3, M106A2, M901, M981, M577, M3, M3A1, M88A1, M548, M578 VTR, M551 Sheridan, M60A1, T-59 (ride only), M-84 (Yugo T-72, ride only), M109A4, M109A5, M1064, probably others. I assist my soldiers in "exercising" (read: joyride) the various armor and wheeled vehicles in my motor pool.

I have crewed a lot in my 20 years in the Army (3 National Guard, 16+ active Army). I even got to swim an M113A2 in the Guard and an M3 during drivers training in my Cav course.

If museums count, I’ve seen lots of stuff at Bovington over three visits and earlier this year I paid to drive a Chieftain mk4 and an Abbot SP.

Back when I was in the army I saw M1's, and I also tried to crawl around a Soviet T62 ? about all I remember about that though is at 6 ft tall and 180 lbs it was a damn tight fit.

Do trips to museums count? If so, I've been to the Imperial War Museum, the museum at Aberdeen, and I've seen a trainload of M1's back in the late 80's, in Bayonne NJ -- they were en route to being shipped over to Germany.

Oh yeah, there are also the M60 and the T-72 at the Intrepid.

We spent the weekend at Moody AFB in scouts and they had alot of stuff for us to climb all over. They had an armored car that was pretty cool. Of coarse we left an officer scratching his head on how the back door got torn off. He made some comment about how it had made it through desert storm without being damaged and then a bunch of kids tear it up when it got back. Did get to sit in the cockpit of one of the first F-16 to bomb baghdad the first time, not a tank but still cool to do. Of coarse they used the same plane as our alarm clock the next day by flying it right on the trees above us.

Well Ron, I've seen everything in the current Army arsenal when I was stationed on Camp Doha, Kuwait for 4 months last year. I haven't been in any though, I'm an Airman Let me rephrase that, I've been in HumVee's but I don't count that as armor

I was mad that they had security so tight that I couldn't get any pictures while I was there. I had my digi cam and laptop and could have collected a marvelous modern photo reference.
