Hello All,
I'm here in Yuma doing some training. Just outside of Yuma Proving Grounds is a static display of various vehicles and ordanance. You can get there by taking I8 to Yuma and then head North on Arizona 95 for about 25 miles. You will see two artillery pieces sitting on your left, turn there and you will see the vehicle park on the left. I will post more pictures once I get to the meuseum on base. Here are a couple of images and a link to my photo account. Yuma Proving Ground

Very nice pics. There are other true oddities there, like that big orange wheeled train. Also, another M114 but with an M109 muzzle brake. There was an NLOS there as well. Did you see the two big guns at the big gate, or did you HALO in?

Thanks for sharing these with us. They all look like they are in relatively good shape.

These were at a park that looks like it isn't too old. There are some empty display stands on the road to the main gate. I haven't seen the NLOS cannon. I still haven't had a chance to goto the museum on base yet. I've been busy working on some other vehicles.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Are you testing the new LAV III? What do you think about them compared to the current one? My last contact was in ODS. I was TOW gunner in a Humvee and we worked in Combined Anti-Armor Teams (CAAT Teams).
