While FAS has a lot of entries, not all of them are entirely accurate;
for 
example, it lists the height of the M551 Sheridan as 12'6" - ie. 3.8
meters 
tall. If that figure has any basis in reality at all, it must be from 
ground to the top of the aerials.

Because of errors like this, I consider FAS good only to give a general 
idea of what a system is and does. For specific data, I only rely on FAS
if 
it proves impossible to find it elsewhere - and fortunately this doesn't

happen very often.

Lots of nice pictures though <g>
