Event: Georgetown Air Show
Date: 5/6/7-May-2000
Location: Georgetown Airport, Georgetown Texas
Description: The Georgetown Air Show is a favorite show for the central
Texas military vehicle collectors, Texas Association of Vietnam Veterans (TAVV)
and the Texas Military Historical Association. We were all invited to be
part of this years show. In addition to the regular air show activities,
the three groups mentioned above put on a re-enactment from both WWII and
Vietnam. Both shows were a fantastic hit with the spectators.

Before the show started (which
was a LONG weekend) I had the opportunity to take a shot of just the M38A1
by itself and a lone '52 XM211 2 1/2 ton truck belonging to a fellow club
member. I brought along "Bowman" and the tent as
well. |
 |
On Saturday morning, a
gentleman from Beaumont Texas showed up and asked if he could set-up his
Korean tent display. I agreed and the above tent and equipment was
added. His collection included a nice cold weather display, rifles,
camp equipment etc. The camo helmet slipped in by mistake. |

Here's "Bowman"
again! He's dressed in correct Korean period gear. His pants
and shirt are M1951 pattern manufactured in 1952. His helmet is a
steel-pot (fixed bails) from WWII. The web gear is all 1940's dated
equipment. Only his boots are new issue. |
 |
Here's a few WWII MB's and a
half-track that fellow club members brought to the show. All the
equipment, tents, vehicles are privately owned. |

Another couple of members
vehicles and displays... They include a 1970 M151A2 and a 70ish M35A2 2
1/2 ton wrecker to complete the Vietnam display. |
