There is one at Fort Riley, Kansas which is next to the town of Junction
City. Back in the 70's I stood guard over it on several occasions while it
was in the rail yard storage. It is now on top of a hill opposite of the
Marshall Airfield. When you are driving on I70, it is directly across the
highway from the field. There was a practice shell welded to the after
portion of the gun mount. Believe it or not, it was found in a creek that
runs through the base, next to the airfield. There was always some goofy
stuff showing up in the creek.
