There is a link to the Patton museum. I highly recommend it if you get a chance , as the curator(back in 99) is a really nice guy. We went in SS kit after our reenactment , and he showed us everything he had as well as letting us check out what they had in the back which wasn't on display(Stug III rescued from the bottom of a bog in Russia). The Aberdeen proving grounds are in Maryland close to DC. Haven't seen the Danger UXB show....I will look for it(I have some good sources). I work within shouting distance of Camp Mabry in Austin TX. They have a few neat things on display including a hetzer(WW2 German self propelled AT gun) which the 2nd SS here in TX use at our TMHS events. I actually live 30 miles away from Austin in the pine trees near Bastrop TX ....the VFW in Bastrop has an F4 sitting in front of their small outpost ......I will try to take a picture of it , as it is the epitome of contradiction for a small country town VFW to have that big bird in front of it! I grew up in Shreveport/Bossier city area of NW La.....home of the 2nd largest SAC base in the country. Minden La.(close by) was the home of a famous civil war battle and there are still tons of spent balls from the battle that one can garner with a metal detector(childhood foray)

Nice to hear from you in CA ,

Heath
