There are several tanks at Chino airport at the two aeroplane museums. The trick is to get the bikes inside the fence to get the pictures!

We even have a national guard armory right up the road, and all they have are humvees. They do have a water tank truck.

I live near a junkyard full of trucks and Humvees.  Closest Tank is an M48A5 out in front of Fort AP Hill which is 65 miles away or the old Ordnance Museum in Petersburg which is 135 miles away.  All my plans are to ride North, not South.

Since you are trying to get there, we will wait for your picture for a couple of more days !

If we don't get a picture from you or Bare or other Forum members, I have another Tag in mind.

I know where some tanks are located, all less than 7 miles from my house.

There are 2 Abrams tanks sitting at the factory where I used to work.
We build the gas turbine engine that powers them.

Unfortunately, because I retired from there and there is a lot of security restrictions there ain't no way I could get my RE anywhere near them. :(

Here is the third TAG - either of the three will do.

RE with a rotary dial phone - Does anyone still have one of them !

Ice - if you can get them both in the same pic with your bike, you will rule the school!  It'll be the first "double-tag", I think...

Hell.  I can't hardly find a PAYPHONE let alone a ROTATORY phone in Denver.  Though if I talked to the right people, I might be able get a pic next to a F16.    :D  With the right planning, I could get a pic of a F16 flying over the top of my bike as it's taking off.  Top Gun style.    ;D

Really.  If you go to a pay phone you get profiled as a drug dealer.
Airplanes don't count 'cause too many of us work with them.  Or at least, if we work with them we should recluse ourselves in fairness to the spirit.

I knew I'd seen a tank around here somewhere.  Finally remembered about a week ago, but since then I've either been working or its been pouring down with rain.  This is outside of the VFW in Toccoa, GA.

For those of you who have been feverishly working on it I'll keep the next tag as a rotary dial phone or a hand pump.
