Where can we go to see real tanks besides the AAF Museum in Danville?

A nice museum here in Los Angeles (actually El Monte) is the American Military Museum.

I go there for inspiration.

Here are a few that I have visited. Aberdeen..but they are disappering fast. Virginia Military Vehicle Assn by Manassas. VA (Nokesville Tank Farm) c/o Wuseum of Americans in Wartime. The National D-Day Memorial in Bedford is also a must see (little armor though). Patton Mus at Fort Knox..if it is still open. US Army Heritage Center Carlisle, PA. Wright Musem in Wolfsboro, NH. WW II Museum in N O, LA*. The Smithsonian is a hoot if you go near Aberdeen, MD be sure to stop by for the V-1 and ME 262 and much more.

If you like to travel some....... Imperial War Musuem in London,UK; Bovington Tank Museum in Dorset, UK; Samur, France and Munster, Germany.

I have not hit Kublinka.....YET! NOTE: If you want to see German WW II tanks Bovington is the nicest and Samur has the biggest collection.

* or the old D-Day Museum. There is also the Military Mus. of Southern New England in Danbury CT. but these two I have not been to.

PS You MUST join us for the D-Day 2014 trip to Normandy.

There's always the late Jacques Littlefield's collection - http://www.mvtf.org/index.html

Haven't been there in quite some while but it should still be worth a visit if you've never seen it.
