YUP!

This weekend the Cold War Collection attended the local country fair.
1) Some youngster swiped the master key to a Pinzgauer. A short run back to the garage returned with a spare. Almost every vehicle has at least one additional power cut-off.
2) Having an overhead sun/rain shelter worked well for crew comfort.
3) We have worked out a couple of crew positions for maximum visibility and to allow visitors (kids, moms, and dads) to get the experience.
4) I wipe oily surfaces often and especially before opening to the public.
5) The V100 has split doors which control foot traffic but let parents see inside and photograph little Johnnie wearing the M1 helmet shell or goggles.
6) I have some J-hook magnets and 550 cord to string across openings as another limiter.
7) Earlier in the year we had a kid spin the starter on the V100 - quite unexpectedly! I ordered him out, but the youth's grandfather is a retired colleague of mine! So I had to quickly investigate and form conclusions. Fortunately grandpa is a retired freefall parachutist and recognized the language I had to use. No, I was being safe by being firm, but yes we could have isolated more circuits for the next time. It is added to the checklist.
8) When there are too many little fingers touching things inside and around the cupola gears, I will set the travel lock. We don't want to use up the collection's insurance coverage in one shot on one claim. For more teachable visitors, the locks can come off.
9) The driver's hole on the CVRT is always out-of-bounds.

Finally, I was very impressed when one local beauty in shorts, tank-top, sandals and purse, stepped off the ground onto the step stool, onto the CVRT's wading skirt shroud, onto the deck, reached in and extracted some obstreperous child from the turret, backed off and only lost the ash off her cigarette on the last step.
