Anyone seen this video? from Dillon Presision? Interesting video, not many subguns though! I was expecting a few more but...Anyways, it has some good video of a Colt 21 firing. Also, it shows the Champlin fighter museum when they had the machinegun display (with the Midas Thompson) circa? 87?...

Dillon's son and daughter love shooting his sub guns, machine guns, quad .50, etc. So much for his collection ever going to auction. The "Midas" was at Doug Champlin's Fighter Museum from 1987 until the museum moved to Seattle, and Champlin sold the Earl collection guns back in 2000.

I believe the Fw-190D9 or was it a D13.. was bought by one of the co-founders of Microsoft. He bought the rest of
the collection as well (aircraft). Last I knew it was going into a museum up in Washington State. The Boeing Museum???
Saw that Fw-190D and the rest of the collection about 11 years ago. What a nice collection in one of the hottest places ever.
It was 10:00am and already above 110dF in the hangar. Course it was early August...
I am a long time P-51D Mustang enthusiast, they had an A-36A there.
Cheers,

Hi Walter63a, The video (tape) that we are refering to is one that is available from Dillon precision: http://dillonprecision.com/default.cfm? Athough, it is an older video.. They might still carry it (i think)
