I am calling ryan on monday to discuss the booking

[@CJinsoo]

where are you located? I would love to drive one of these monsters!

[@americanheritagemuseum]

We are located in Hudson, MA - directions at www.americanheritagemuseum.org/plan-your-visit/location-directions/

[@CJinsoo]

below you reply that main gun cannot be fired, what about the machine guns?
also, can you drive over an obstacle like an old junk car?

[@americanheritagemuseum]

We are not on a range, so the machine runs are not firing. The experience does not include any live fire... it is driving or riding only. We do not offer car crushing on these tanks due to the rarity of the tracks and suspension system. Other for-profit operators with more common AFV types have car crushing available for a higher cost, but we do not intend to add that at this time.

How long do you get to drive it around?

[@americanheritagemuseum]

Driving programs are an hour long including ground training, walk around, start-up/warm-up, and driving. The participant will be actively driving the tank for about 20 minutes... more than enough time for most as it can get pretty tiring for even the most hardy driver!

[@Joeba708]

Uhh, that’s not an M4A3.... it’s just the original model the M4

[@americanheritagemuseum]

Yes, it's an M4A3... it is a welded hull, powered by the Ford GAA V8, with the 75mm armament. A straight original M4 was powered by a Continental R975 radial engine and the M4A1 was powered by the same R975 with a cast hull.
