Thanks again Don!!
I will get all of these bad boys!!

It is interesting to see various layers of paint on the M60A3 showing up. The first photo in this last series shows that before the vehicle received its current NATO 3-color scheme it was painted in most common version of MERDC scheme: field drab+green+sand+black. Underneath this camo there was something that looks like desert version of MERDC, as there is area of sand paint with a black pattern on it visible. And even deeper underneath the sand color, some dark green colors shows - probably old good olive drab! This tank was a real chameleon :-)

If you haven't gotten the pictures yet, get them now. Tomorrow morning I will be posting the next set of five images.

Where is that M-60 located? The setting looks somewhat familiar.

It's not the one I was thinking of. The last time I was in my grandma's hometown they had a static M-60 display next to the VFW, next to a picnic area and just down the road from the grain elevator, almost the exact same arrangement as the one in your pictures. Although, I think the one they had was an earlier model, but it's probably been 10 years since I've been there so my memory's a bit faded.

I figured the probability that you'd have pictures from the Loyal, WI VFW were pretty slim, but I thought I'd check.
