This last one is pretty cool, it was found in a garage, of all places just like it is, its a Clark Air Drop Crawler, the military used them in WW2 to air drop into the jungle. ï¿½then they would use them to carve out an air strip large eonugh for gliders and DC3s to get in with the heavier equipment. ï¿½Not many ever came back to the states.

It's held at an old farm that was donated for this type of use, alot of the equipment is so large it never leaves the property.

They will let your child run this thing, under their supervision of course. ;)
The fall show is coming up on October 1st and I'm pushing to get my CJ3B project finished for this show.
