Tidbit of history about this plane: The captured USAAF Ju 88D-1/Trop was a
long-range photographic reconnaissance version modified for tropical use. It was
assigned to the Romania Air Force and flown to Cyprus after the Romanian pilot
defected to the British. The RAF turned the aircraft over to the USAAF and it
was tested at Wright Field. At the end of WWII, it was stored in the Arizona
desert and in January 1960, it was shipped to the USAF museum.

and the GMC CCKW tanker truck is a beauty, too.
