where is this plane at?

Twenty years ago Ju 87 R-2 WkNr. 0875709 was pulled from Russia.
Later Paul Allen would buy it, plus parts from other projects, and start
restoration of an example of the single, most,
iconic aircraft of WWII. Here it is.

You would be amazed at the aircraft and other vintage stuff that Paul Allen has rescued and saved for the public, located in Everett, WA. at Paine Field. Unfortunately Mr. Allen passed last month but his legacy will continue as his sister has vowed to continue on. If you're ever in the Pacific Northwest it is well worth a visit.

Nice comparison shot between the BMW Radial engine and the Junkers V-12 versions.

Meanwhile at McMurdo, an abandoned Constellation...

View attachment 676514 This is how the plane is disappearing after a non-fatal crash in 1970. The plane, named 'Pegasus', had the surrounding airfield named after it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_Field

The FW-190s also used the Daimler Benz DB 603 inverted V-12s.
The BMW radial models were the most produced, used. I prefer the look of the longer nosed liquid cooled V-12s.
There were over 20,000 190s built!

Is he the one that has a V-1 missile with a canopy for a pilot? Just heard about some of these from my oldest.
