Not really aviation but here's some video's of the USMC's LAV-25A2 and LAV-AT on the firing line/disembarking LCAC's and a little more mostly at Twentynine Stumps and Camp Pendleton and possibly the Netherlands. The LAV-25 made its reputation in Panama and the Battle of Khafji as a fast support vehicle with serious punch. I have a thing for reconnaissance vehicles... light and fast like the Cavalry of old.

Oh yeah, LAV is a definite classic. Amphibious, fast, and packs a pretty nice punch. The Marine Corps did alright when they bought these.

Yeah, design by committee never works and it leads to cost overruns and delays. Never really liked the M-3 Bradly CFV. Smaller and lighter is better for reconnaissance. My favorites are the LAV-25, ASLAV, Coyote, M-1127 Stryker, FV-107 Scimitar, Rooikat, and Luchs.
