Jungle Wreck

This Japanese ‘Val’ dive bomber was shot down in the Pacific during WWII. It was located in 1971 and moved as-is to the Admiral Nimitz State Park in Fredricksburg, TX, where it was on display outdoors in their peace garden. The native Pacific plants makes the location look very much like a south seas island.

This aircraft is reportedly now being restored back to original condition, and may even make a flight before being placed in an indoors display building.
