Cool! That's only about a mile from my house. Can't do any heavy
lifting anymore, but count me in. I'll help when I can! In Feb.,
will it be inside a heated building (I hope?)<br>

If anyone has an interest in war
machines and\or engines, in February the
Huntsville Veterans Memorial Museum will
be assembling and installing a jet
engine to put into an Abrams tank. <br>
<br>
</div>
One of the volunteers is opening this up
to any makers that are interested in being
part of this hands-on effort.<br>
<br>
</div>
Part of testing the engine will of course
involve the volunteer mechanics driving the
tank.<br>
<br>
</div>
If you are interested send me a reply and I
will get your contact info into the POC's
hands.<br>
<br>
</div>
Happy Making,<br>
Jeff<br>
<br>

PS: One of their Abrams tanks will be part of the
Veterans Day Parade tomorrow:<br>
