Memorial Day 2006 update
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

I wish I could be there too but I think I'll be in Hawaii that weekend. Hopefully next year as it looks like a great event to see and photograph. _________________ Chris "toadman" Hughes www.toadmanstankpictures.com www.cafepress.com/toad...ksandstuff

I've never seen any tanks in Hawaii. I did see a submarine once, though.

A popular style of womens' bathing suit is called the "tankini". I'm just saying.

Oh, the Pearl Harbor Avenger BOWFIN? I took the tour of that and the USS Missouri, the Arizona Memorial and yes, there ARE tanks there! US Army Museum The Ha-Go and an M-24 were there when we visited in 2001. Pretty cool!

Well I didn't know about that museum! We did tour Pearl Harbor and the Bowfin the first time I was there, but the sub to which I was referring was actually out in the wild. We saw it from the shore while watching a luau.

I'll have to dig up some photos I have. Having lunch IN the Missouri was wild!

- Tumbleweed I wonder if the 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii has tanks? Hi Tumble! Hi Folks! Not in Hawaii. The 25th's heavy units where stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington. That unit turned in it's tanks and converted to a RSTA Squadron for the 25th's Stryker BCT. Spot Report! Sgt, Scouts Out! _________________ "You can never have too much reconnaissance." General G.S.
