I set up a gallery of some the photos I took on a vacation three years ago to the National Ordinance Museum in Aberdeen. I have other photos to scan and add. I will also be adding descriptions sometime. It is kind of a pain because you have to log in but it is free.
A big thank you to Faust for Beta Testing the set up over in the Junk Drawer. It should be working now. I hope...

GREAT LINK
ROBERTO

Thanks for posting the pictures. I am sure they will be of good reference use in the future.

Cheers

Great album. I have a few pics from Aberdeen myself, as well as quite a few from the Patton Museum on Fort Knox.

Incidentally, for those interested, Aberdeen is now open to the public again. It had been on restricted access for a while after Sept. 11th.

Jay,

You are right. Ft Knox is an awful lot closer to me (Indiana) than Aberdeen is. We went before the base was locked down. Both are great places for dedicated tread heads to visit. I am going to go back, and I'll take picture requests. Thanks for looking...

I tried to view the photos but after loggin in I got this:

"Thank you for visiting this account. Please try again tomorrow since this account has exceeded the maximum number of visits allowed for today!"

Too bad

Marty, I don't know what the story is. Sorry. I'm working on it.

Try this.

Picture 26 to 27 of your gallery what kind of gun is that?? It looks like a leopold but it sits on this weird round thing as it wqas some kind of naval gun or at least a coastal defense gun. What is for sure is that the piece is friggin` big..
I always want to aberdeen once... no mone..... Wait brb have to rob a bank

great pics dude

Knox is still restricted as far as I know, the only reason we were able to get on post is because myself and a couple of others in our group had valid military ID cards and I also had a DoD sticker on my car. While I was at Knox, we were able to get into a few places most people don't have access to, so I got some pics of some rather interesting vehicles (including a prototype of the MBT-70 and a M1 Abrams variant with the entire crew placed in the turret and just a gun above the hull).

I've also got a lot of pictures from Fort Irwin, CA (aka the National Training Center) where they have a threat ID museum with a bunch of captured Iraq vehicles of Russian and Chinese origin (as well as a few odd others). The great thing about that place was that I got to crawl around inside of T-72's, a T-34 and a few other various vehicles. The place was a favortie stop of mine during my rotations to the NTC.

I don't have any web server space for hosting pics, but if anybody has picture requests, I'd be happy to scan some pics for people.

Faust. That is a huge coastal defense artillery piece. I think it was emplaced on the Gulf coast. Yup, that's my brother standing on the gun tube...

Keenan, thanks for providing alternate link. These are some good photos. One of these days I will need to take a trip to Aberdeen.

Keenan,
Thanks for the pix, got a few ideas from them
