FYI If you go down the street to the 82nd's Musuem, the M551 Sheridan on display in the back has an interesting history. On the heavy drop in Panama its the one that had a chute failure. Missed the airport, burned in up to its turret in the swamp (I want to say east side of DZ, but my Alzehimers is actting up).

The "hooahs" from 3-73rd Armor, stripped that baby for parts, to keep the rest of those 30 + year old armored vehicles going.
