Thanks, Terry!

The quality of that photo made it difficult to figure it out while I was viewing it on the ipad, but once I got on the computer, it became clear what I was looking at!

And the He100 is my favorite too, Jim!

Ok, here's the next challenge...it may be easy, then again, it may not.

 
Airframes and capt Vick, yes it s very impressive. The two arms extending forward are actually the engine mount which is integral to the cowling.
On the right hand arm(left aircraft side) you can also see the arm incorporated the turbo charger fan. In the center is the large hole that 20mm cannon
passed through. Heinkel was truly ahead of his time and the He100 was a missed fighter that had potential.
Also Capt Vick, the answer is yes.

Good eye!

Yes, it's the control car to K-28 on display at the New England Air Museum (not my photo, of course) and it was manufactured by Goodyear. Block K-9 through K-30 were ordered on 14 October 1942. K-28 was powered by two P&W R-1340-AN2 engines.

It's all yours, Jim!
