Hi guys, REMEMBER a while ago I made a post about what I will be doing? well, here is a bit of a teaser about that, training commences in 2 weeks to drive these bad boys at and for the museum

Nice...you'll have a ball. Hope you are familiar with double clutching...on a Sherman you'll learn fast...and drive with your ears. I'd love to crank up a running Sherman. All I have here is static displays. []

I now live in San Antonio and have ALWAYS wanted to learn how to drive a Sherman too. I guess you can say it's one of my top "bucket list" items. How do I go about doing this too? Please feel free to call me about this. 228 861 4289. Don't let the 228 area code fool you, my wife is Air Force and we kept our MS number. Thanks. Alex.

moonshadow,
While the music was cool to listen to, I would have really liked to have heard those tanks firing up and running, but still, great pics and video. Thanks for sharing.

Jim

I went to the Cavanaugh Flight museum in Addison TX yesterday, They have a Super Sherman on display. Pretty cool. I dont know if in working order, but it was cool to see.
