Military grave yard full of cool old stuff! Tanks, Hueys, and more! Russel military museum.

Today we change it up a bit and stop by Russell military museum to check out an awesome collection of tanks, Huey’s, boats, jets, 6x6 trucks, and a lot more!

[@frustratedfriar9632]

The tall, long and skinny looking helicopter is called a SKYCRANE and it did a heck of a lot more than just lift a container(shipping type) that you thought. Light tanks and other armoured vehicles, artillery pieces to various modules such as control rooms, HQ module to even triage units. Some are still flying today mainly for fire fighting and some rescues. It is a unique unusual and bloody desirable machine. I would love to own and fly one.

[@weldingandwheeling9883]

That sounds quite useful

[@luigigunner]

The piece in front of the M-60 tank is a mine roller. It's an attachment that goes in front of the tank and rolls over mines in order to detonate them.

[@weldingandwheeling9883]

Sounds like fun

26.50 Cessna 02A Skymaster twin boom twin engine forward air control / COIN / spotter from Vietnam era made famous by the Bat21 story also offered support to ground troops, a real lady of the sky.

[@papa606]

Nice trip . Thanks for the ride along

[@weldingandwheeling9883]

[@PKIllinoisFIN]

Holy grail of Nam stuff.. sad to see once expensive stuff rotting away, i hope they got most parts out for spares for those that still have life!

[@weldingandwheeling9883]

I would agree it is the holy grail of stuff!

The border patrol dune buggy engine at 24:28 is a subaru flat four cylinder. Water cooled not air cooled radiator is at the back of the vehicle. At 26:24 is an a-10 thunderbolt II. At 26:36 from left to right are MIL Mi-24 helicopter, Mcdonnell Douglas F-15 eagle, General Dynamics F16 Fighting Falcon, and early Vought A-7 Corsair II

[@weldingandwheeling9883]

Hmm thanks for pointing out the Subaru I can’t believe I never noticed the radiator. Seems like you have quite the knowledge on this stuff!

[@dodgeme1986truck]

That attachment on the ground is for mine clearing it goes on the front of a tank and rolls where the tracks are going to travel

[@weldingandwheeling9883]

That makes a lot of sense, I figured it was something of that nature.

Awesome piece of Canadian Self Propelled Artillary Gun with a 25 pound artillery gun,based on Canadian versions of the M3 Lee and M4 Sherman chassis (Ram and Grizzly tank chassis).
