There was a replica Stuka flying a few years ago in the Ukraine (I think).
The one mentioned previously is owned by a member of a Luftwaffe re-enactment group which also has a full-scale Bf109G replica (powered by a Ranger engine) on the go.
Check them out at:

A few closeups of the Chicago airplane from the Kamm Collection. These were taken at Hales Corners WI in 1975 and 1977.

I know that this is a thread on Stukas, but since Chicago has figured so large here, how about a picture of their biggest war prize in her new crypt ?

Here are a couple I shots from the same visit when I took pics of the Stuka and Spit (November of '05.) Even with a wide-angle lens, it's almost impossible to get the whole thing in the picture. It's great to see her inside out of the weather. I understand some of the hull plating had been rusted away to a quarter of its original thickness.

Thanks! Tell that too my freinds who are always teasing me about taking so many pictures! (I shot over 700 at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola a couple of years ago..thank God for digital!)

I thought that HA 1112 was used in a trade?

When did U-505 get a roof over it's head? I'm very happy to see that!
I like the JU-87 there, at least you can see it, it might not be under a spot light but its not in the dark! But I'd love to see it lowered some so you can see it better and ... I guess i'll never be happy
