WOW! Great photo in front of the GG, adjust the foreground light and shading a bit with your photo program (should be in your image program where you store these) and make the Jeep and the airplane pop out of the foreground.

No this one was not on Ebay. Was from an individual named Larry who donated it to our museum.
