But, it's been a long time since I was in the Armor recognition business.Pawpawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959820068377494313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-57909102782663037712017-05-25T17:00:52.465-05:002017-05-25T17:00:52.465-05:00Could have come from Eglin AFB and be going to Whi...Could have come from Eglin AFB and be going to White Sands.

Wonder if all 3 are driven, or one is just a tag axle?<br />That tank could weigh up to 49 tons, apparently. Hmm, that would seem to suggest that that rig is capable of handling much more weight.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-87530213598623796302017-05-22T22:56:34.511-05:002017-05-22T22:56:34.511-05:00Give me an even chance of getting away with it and...Give me an even chance of getting away with it and I'll do it.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-8031479113774426192017-05-22T21:12:32.862-05:002017-05-22T21:12:32.862-05:00If you get a few of your buddies beered-up and eve...If you get a few of your buddies beered-up and everyone starts daring, you know one of them will light the burners on that T-72 and drive it down Bourbon Street at dusk.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-30696247346663135592017-05-22T19:51:58.533-05:002017-05-22T19:51:58.533-05:00It would make a nice Big Boy ToyIt would make a nice Big Boy ToyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-14486216007181332152017-05-22T17:54:43.376-05:002017-05-22T17:54:43.376-05:00W/B I-10, west of Mobile.W/B I-10, west of Mobile.Murphy's Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17164780742334950772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-18070468565876506852017-05-22T17:28:40.401-05:002017-05-22T17:28:40.401-05:00Hey Murphy;

It probably is related to the Army especially since they have an arsenal in Anniston.
