Hi, Just wandered by. Looking forward to it again. I might talk a friend from Delaware into coming out at that time. They don't have anything like this back there. No parades, no military shows, at least not in the part of Delaware he's in. He's looking forward to seeing one of the events out...

I did take some pics. I'll try to post some. A C-130 Hercules made several passes over the beach while we were there. One thing that I learned was that there were at least two 75mm gun emplacements that were heavily fortified as you might expect, but they could only be seen from a hundred...

I was just there a few days ago and walked the beach at Omaha and visited the American Cemetery. Truly humbling experience. JH1

We'll take the ferry over from Coupeville on Friday. Jim and Julia

I'll be there, for sure. It's turned into the premier event for the whole area, now. Wouldn't miss it! Jim

Why, yes. It's safety tied so it can't possibly fire. :-D :tank: JH1

There are now 39 pictures from the event on the Triple-X Drive-in Facebook page. Search for "TripleXXX Root Beer Drive In" to see them. This might work, too: https://www.facebook.com/search/192288094206599/local_search?surface=tyah JH1

We had 37 military vehicles plus 10 military trailers of all kinds, plus 25 emergency vehicles like cop cars, ambulances, a couple of fire trucks, and a hearse. Weather was light overcast. Perfect weather, if you ask me. Here's a short video we took as we tooled around the parking lot...

Guaranteed good weather! Best burgers, anywhere. Expecting big turnout tomorrow. No entry fee. See you there! Jim

If you want to show up at 0-dark:30, you can. :-) Yes. Sunday only. I hope to bring the clanky old green thing. See you there, Storm.

Triple-X Drive In show: We're 10 days out, now. A week from this coming Sunday. Time to polish that chrome. Oops, meant to say 'time to spritz some rattle-can OD on that thang.' Hope to see you all there. Gobs of fun! Jim

Woo Hooooooo!

Y'all, We're about a month out until the very first military vehicle show of the season. It is at the Triple X Rootbeer drive-in in Issaquah, WA. See their website at www.triplexrootbeer.com We always have a great time at that show. Best burgers anywhere, too. C'mon down with whatever you...

Thanks very much! Interesting stuff. Still looking for prints. Will contact MVPA.Their site only shows the A-frame, but they may have more offline.

There is no DUKW forum on SS that I know of, so here I am. Looking for a set of drawings for the DUKW that shows the struts, skin plates, and all of the structure. A CAD file would be best, but I doubt any have been made. Restoring one and some of the lower structure needs replacing or is flat...

I'm not the honcho, but I think it will be the Labor Day weekend. JH1

Looking a bit damp for tomorrow, but come anyway. Figure it's a free fuel trip and free entry into the biggest gun show in the state. We'll be parked within 100 feet of the pavilion building where the gun show is, so we can dash in and out, depending on rain. I'm loaded up and ready to pull out...

I prefer the term "well marbled". fat lady sings

What, you callin' the Abbot FAT? :swbradley1: It's trim little physique is smaller than say, a 5 ton cargo truck... :shrugs: Jim

Thanks, guys. See you there. Everyone, please be parked in place by 0900. Jim
