I tried some of the ones in this thread and they all seem broken?

The same for me, however the link isn't broken, I just get access denied.

While in OK, we looked for the M60A1/A3 listed as located at:

BROKEN ARROW
Oklahoma Army National Guard Armory/Naval & Marine Corps Reserve Center, 1101 N 6th St

The facility looks as if it has been closed and turned over to the town of Broken Arrow, OK. The tank is no longer at this location - see photo below.

As a point of interest, this photo shows the satellite image from Google Maps that appeared on my computer. Clearly no tank.

BUT - the two photos below are from my cell phone app accessing Google Maps satellite images and they show the tank!
Apparently, the regular version and the mobile version of Google draw their satellite images from different sources - in this case the mobile images are older and out of date.
Good to know if one is relying on these sources to verify AFV locations!!

Anyway, while traveling to Muskogee to see the USS Batfish Memorial, we drove by what looks like a brand new Army Reserve facility in Broken Arrow, OK that had an M60 out front. I shot this very bad photo while we drove by.

It looks as though the M60 missing from the closed facility has been relocated to the new facility, but we couldn't access the new facility to verify.

Lastly, here is an image from Google maps showing the new facility in Broken Arrow.

The latest satellite photos on Google Earth showing the tank there are circa 6/8/2011, so it must have been moved some time after that date.

Stopped by the Camp Atterbury Veterans Memorial, and despite my fears was not dogpiled by bored MP's for photographing the old stuff!

Got serials for 2 M47 Pattons, one looks like 106, the other 2396. I'll post the photos later tomorrow. Couldn't get anything off the M42 Duster, M110A2, or the M41 Walker Bulldog-too much paint, and I wasn't quite sure where to look on the M4A1E8's.

Also confirmed the M4A3 in Brookville, IN; I couldn't get a legible serial, but it is at the location TACOM specifies, and according to the post commander it's been there since the 1950's.

We stopped by the American Legion Post 185 in Feeding Hills, MA and can confirm the SN of the M60A3 there as SN4067A.

Will post photos when I can.

The Nashua M60 at N 42 57.365 W 092 32.148

A picture on the link below gives 3484A as serial, I have 3848A as serial. Is it a typing error from myself or is the serial indeed 3484A?

Via another forum: On the range at McGuire ARB/JB: 9x M60A3? Pattons at 40° 0'46.45"N, 74°27'25.58"W

i.imgur.com/T0zWl.jpg

edit: there are also a number of M60A3's and/or other unidentified vehicles on the range proper to the west; I counted at least 10.

Indeed a interesting area! Isn't this part of Lakehurst Naval test facility or some army unit? Some other locations;
N40 02.730 W074 27.646 a preserved AFV
N40 01.864 W074 27.391 a UH-1 wreck?
N40 00.301 W074 26.168 3 x AFV
N40 00.343 W074 26.402 3 x AFV as hard target, one tank with turret flipped off?

We stopped by the location for:
FRANKLIN, KY
AMVETS Post 110, 1080 Harding Road (N36 42.983 W86 33.683) M26

to photograph the M26 and found a brand new Gas station and no sign of the AMVETS post or the M26.

Google Satellite and street view show the AMVETS post, but it is no longer at that address! Didn't have time to hunt it down, as we were passing through - like usual!

Cheers!
