45th Infantry Museum, OKC- outside tour

[sherrick13]

Went by the 45th Infantry Museum in OKC for a while with my oldest son.

We just visited the outside part. We will do a thread on the inside later.

They have a nice collection, but it is mostly American items.



M4A1 Sherman- The good one.

M47 Patton


8 inch Howitzer


Big tube


M114


M56 Scorpion- no thanks, looks like a deathtrap


M-103A2- BIG BOY


Cool M5 Stuart with a short 75mm gun


Twin 40mm Duster

I like these two next to each other. You can see the clear difference between the M48 and M60 Pattons


M48 has a curved front hull


M60 has a straight front hull


Huey


M1 8 inch gun


F-86L- with the radar


A-7 Corsair II


F-80


M44A1 155mm

M110A2 8 inch shoots nuclear shells



M4 OG (original gangsta)



M114A2 155mm Howizter


M1897 Gun with M2A2 carriage
old gun with new wheels



M1918 155mm Howitzer Big Boy WWI style



M1897 Field gun with modern wheels



D-30 Iraqi capture



With English instruction plates


These German 40mm antiaircraft guns are cool




Because they have battle damage

I havent been there since I was a little kid. I gotta get back there. And go to the cowboy hall of fame. But I am waiting on the Cowboy Hall of Fame until I have the cash for a stetson and a matching pair of colt revolvers with a custom belt.

Enjoyed my visit with the children’s,
We were able to give quite the tour.:.
How about Hitlers mirror??

I've been there a few times, but maybe I need to visit again. Some of what you showed I don't remember, but then all my visits were some time ago. Touring inside takes the most time because there is just so much in there.
