My father in law helps redo the tanks, cars, ect at the AFF Danville Tank Museum...They put on quite a show with all their tanks and other stuff.
They even sell most the stuff if you have the money. They have a large collection of German tanks...probably largest tank museum in the US...fills up an entire old high school..

I made a stop down there a number of years ago. I think I was about 18 so that would have been about 1999. The had the Churchill, bren gun carrier, and an old M3 Tank that was freakin awesome. I would love to land a job down there doing it for a living, or even Aberdeen. Sad part is now, I got home in Sept, put back on National Guard status, and wanted to get back to work at BAE systems. I was on the Bradley reset line, basically rebuilding them. I worked for 3 weeks then got laid off November 13th! Now on the job hunt...
Dad works at Harley Davidson in York, he managed to get through this last round of lay-offs and probably is going to retire, then look for a part time job. The vehicles are just a hobby, we help others, and have worked on everything from Scout Cars, down to little hand carts. I never had a chance to wrench on a WW2 tank, but someday maybe! I went job hunting for about 4 hours after getting back from the VA Medical Center, now I am surfing subsim now just checking out the lastest and greatest. It helps break up the day. Probably going to start a new career once I get back in the grove! I am currently searching on how to change the sub name, catching some Family Guy, and watching the snow fall.
