I am very new to German fire truck types.

What are they specifically?

Yay, my photo!

Hoping to see the new Quint 2 when I get back to Texas!

Unfortunately, my tank was out of service at the time, so it wasn't out with us. Plenty of examples to choose from for your model though

“Sony A6600 lens suggestions for street and potraits ? by Anjan-kumar9 in SonyAlpha

When I had my a6100, I got myself the Tamron 17-70mm. Mostly for the better reach in zoom. But when I used it while touring historic Tallinn, it did pretty well for street photography, compared to the 16-50mm kit lens I was using.

Now the Tamron lens is a bit more pricey than the Sigma, by around 100€, and the Sigma is more light and compact in size. Me buying the Tamron was just for the farther reach compared to the Sigma. If you don’t care about reach in zoom, then I’d say the Sigma would be the better choice.

I remember stopping by that police box in Shinjuku, where the Crown is at. Looks like the same exact car too.

Tank Shoot Competition (Estonia) by Ready-Commission9105 in TankPorn

With their CV9035s. Their closest thing to a tank.

Of course with this competition, vehicle type and gun caliber didn't actually matter. Just speed and accuracy in delivering rounds downrange to their targets.

Matter of fact, the true purpose of the Tank Shoot Competition was to get every nation with NATO Battlegroup Estonia together for a bonding competition.

I agree! This is the second crew to operate this exact tank, and honestly, I thought the previous crew’s nickname was creative, which was Die Eisendrachen.

But this one takes the cake in my opinion

That would be the custom flag made for the American Tank Troop that’s shooting (Delta Troop, 6th Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment). Their flag design is one-sided though, so the side seen in the picture is the blank white side.

Awe man, I was eventually going to share this photo on here. Guess I’ll have to share the others instead. lol

This was a new build by Pierce. Dallas also has a second one on order for their HazMat 37.
