I seemed to have had a few problems with the camera.  However, despite the hit and miss results, I did get SOME decent shots...

No comments are really necessary, except that the museum thinks there are only 2 Stukas left in the world...  ::)

a) Must be one of the later Stukas, which often had no strut coverings.

I tell them about that every time I go in there, but no one listens.  I remember seeing these planes hanging there from when I was a kid.  I must have been about 6 years old or so...
