I will tell you unequivocally that they did not have laser coatings. Here's a photo of one of the last surviving servicable Sheridans. No coating.



I wouldn't even go with the grren look. In my mine that's more for the see through glass in older cupolas.

I was not a big beer drinker until I tasted the German beer. They had EKU there, I liked the Weiss beer. When I came home I drank a Bud and spit it out...

The name of the place is on the tip of my tongue...errrrrr......the stairs to the second floor was on the side. When we came out of the field it was either there or go to Frankfurt.

Outpost Alpha, all the rabbits at night through my night vision goggles...LOL...just sitting in the snow looking at nothing. A museum.....all I remember is around the clock duty and the refueling station not far from the gate. I never was in one of those towers.

I got it!!!!!! Andreasburg or something like that, the name of the bar. My body is gone from a spinal injury but at least a little of my mind is left. Wow now I remember Helen too.....from Sweden.

Oh snap this is supposed to be about the M551 Sheridan at reforger, sorry.....when you get older it becomes a lot about the past. I'm 54 and feel about 80.

I remember EKU but I liked WILL beer better. Love Weiss beer, still drink the imported stuff. After I read the name I can almost see the place on the corner. I never did go upstairs there down town I'll never tell. Oh the red light district of Frankfurt I pulled an entire tour in the tower what a pain. 8 on 16 off. I was on REFORGER 78 in an M60 the 551s were gone. But I saw them on the RED TEAM as well as M60A2s.

I do have a very interesting picture of a Sheridan from B troop with dual 50 cals on the TCs cupola. I tried to get in touch with the guy to see if he has more pictures but could not. In blue it says Peace Pipe on the barrel and "the stalking rhino" on the dual 50 gun shield.
