Needless to say...lot of armor and firearms. They always have very nice WWII display's with T34's, MG42's, STG44's, and lot of other stuff. Last year had a flame thrower demo and lots of tanks and reenactments. Tomorrow is supposed to be a great day too. Nokesville, VA near Quantico just down from Prince William Forrest Park (in case you want to camp and do two days).
The photo here is of actual WWII crew members and I think this is a M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer.

Yes that is an M18. Their greatest moment came during the Battle of the Bulge, when a Company of M18s defended the town of Noville, north of Bastogne. They turned back an attack of German Panthers and Pzkw IVs, delaying the encirclement of Bastogne and allowing that town's defensive lines to be firmed up.

Will be sorry to miss the 'Tank Show" this year. Always a lot of fun.
