M4A1E8 Turret Install + SS member thanks

[dittle]

Today out at the museum we had a M4A1E8 Sherman that needed the turret re-installed on it as it had been removed for restoration needs. Had to call in some SS assistance involving Scott's (tie6044) M816 wrecker. We only had 1 wrecker available and deemed it too dangerous to try the lift solo so I called in the SS helpline. Big thanks to Scott for the use of his wrecker. I know he and his boys enjoyed their morning out at the museum.

We had 2 M816s, 1 M60A3, 1 M4A1E8, 1 M52A2 and 1 M172A1 involved in today's project.

Always good to have an M60 in the back 40.

I told Scott he needed to get one of them to use as his tow truck.

Glad I could help Dan, I know my kids will have some stories to tell when they get back to school! I had a blast myself, not every day you get to do something like that. Here are a few more pics that I took.

By the way PB, this tank is supposed to go to Ft. Benning so you'll get to see it.

That makes it even MORE outstanding dittle

I'm gettin a little worried though.
With all this armor and equipment coming here to Columbus/Fort Benning we might sink below sea level??
