Walked into a weapons show a few decades ago that had a full scale Abrams tank + demo camera providing good 360 degree visibility.
It was odd because I was like yea this is obviously a good idea, but also I’m not the person you need to convince here so WTF.

- varenc 1y agoHow'd you find a weapons show? Which one? are these semi-open to the public? Sounds fascinating
- Retric 1y agoI was walking around Arlington VA area and saw some signs of fighter jets and such that looked interesting, no idea of the show beyond that really. I did have a pentagon badge at the time which let me in, not sure if it was necessary though.

I went to the Dutch military museum the other day, it has a Leopard tank outside (and of course a collection of tanks and the like indoors, including a German V2 rocket suspended from the ceiling).
