I believe the burning tank was live and knocked out in Syria.
All the range tanks we shot up were dry and stripped.
'Bout 10 years ago I saw one on a flatbed with Korean Markings.
It was in Illinois heading South on I 57.
Possibly headed to the Patton Museum Ft Knox at that time.
Here is one at the Gun Museum in Claremore, Oklahoma.
More guns than you ever could count.

Not too far from where I live, these tanks are not used as monuments unfortunately, there are over 3K of them, just left there to rust, what a shame. :crying:

Here is an old relic for you tank fans. Imagine having to do battle in this one. This is a picture of my fathers moms, brother. Not really sure where the picture was taken at. He was in WWII and fought in North Africa and later went into Italy. Pretty cool picture though.

King Tiger Tank in La Gleize, BE.

There is a museum in La Gleize that exhibits a King Tiger tank abandoned during the Battle of the Bulge. I saw it last year and it was recently painted. The picture of the tank is from the museum site.
