I do wish they'd put the YC-125 inside...compared to the later stuff, I'd imagine it's a bit more fragile. The same could probably be said about the C-60.

The NMUSAF has had a history of getting prototypes (makes sense since they're usually the first of their types to be retired) only to replace them when examples with operational history come along. So in 75 years or so, this one might be replaced by one with a combat history in WWZ (a war of zombies, I understand :) ) or something.
