Hi, I think that would be an 8 hour round trip for you. And no the snail you stapled the CD to must have gotten lost. If I was not so busy testing UV/WITP I'd cry.

(If WB and DH decide to go, I'm coming even if I have to walk)

You will need to bring a proper ID, proof of registration and insurance and they will issue you a daypass at the tank row gate. If any of you are wanting a point of contact or phone numbers please feel free to PM me. I might even show up and give the nickle tour.

They are in the process of restoring several pieces so if you would like to know the disposition of any particular model please feel free to post it and ask and I will PM the data.


regards,
sven

I'll be flying up since my brother lives in Baltimore. I'll be visiting him and we'll head over to Aberdeen Proving Ground.

This should be a lot of fun for all of us!

Condition of the Museum? - 2/14/2003 4:32:05 AM

Status: offline 		I visited the Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen a couple of years ago while I was stationed in NCA, and was frankly disappointed at the condition of some of the displays. Primarily it was the vehicles left to rot whitewashed on outdoor concrete slabs. I recall there being plans to build a large indoor display area. How goes the fundraising? Anyone know? The indoor displays were excellent; I'd like to see the vehicles as well cared for, instead of slowly rusting.

Even if the rusting Panthers will make you shed a tear, the museum is certainly worth seeing. It was quite an experience to see the divots left in the front armor of the Jagdtiger by 76mm rounds, and realise that some poor sap was probablly s**ting eggrolls while the shells bounced off like spitballs. You can see all the pictures you like, but walking up and touching these machines made it real for me.

Call me a romantic.

Sorry I won't be able to go... I already have all my leave this spring planned out, and I live on the west coast. I only get two weeks a year and, call me crazy, but I'm spending it getting married and going to Hawaii for my honeymoon. I guess I just don't have my priorities straight. Sigh.

And you won't catch him on an M-10. Look for him in his black beret sitting in the turret of that Tiger while the director pleads with him to get out. ;)

Probably the best news I've gotten this week. :)

Very much looking forward to meeting you WB!

No, [I]you'll[/I] be buying lunch! :)

Still working on the nametags... I'm considering something based on the MatrixGames Forums logo up top there.

I don't want to copy it exactly, since that would be a federal crime...copyright laws, etc. But something similar would do.

David has been following this thread, so I'm sure I'll be hearing from him. My main concern is not that Matrix would disallow its use, but rather that I'd be setting a precedent that might cause problems for them in the future. (Can't you just hear someone in the future whinning, "But you let Bernie use it!")

I'm no voice of authority. I simply think it is a great idea.

It would be an honor for me to meet both of you, Robot. I don't think I knew about this new operation! And you are okay?

You're a tough old bird. You'll do fine. We are with you all the way, my friend! It is so good to know that you are still in the fight. Thanks!

I was at Aberdeen many times. In the old days, on Armed Forces Day, they would have live shows. I saw my mom in May, she just made 85. She's tough. Originally from Parkville, near Towson. Miss it alot. You guys should go, buy call ahead for reservations. Maybe you could get lunch in the dinning facility.

Hey Thomas... I used to live in Parkville until last December (right off Satyr Hill Rd, near Joppa & Perring Pkwy) Now I'm in Rosedale right off Belair. I'm sure it's changed quite a bit since you were here...

As many wives as we want? Do they have to be our own? ;)

As for the communications idea, I nominate Jess to do the calling, especially since I don't have long-distance on anything except my cell phone, and that's too darn expensive.
