At the end of the box, there are assorted images of the Surveyor 1 collected by Lobnitz. In Box 2, there is a folder consisting of miscellaneous photographs. The images in this folder include Evergreen Air Center, military aircraft, helicopters, and production facilities from 1956 through 1987. There are also photographs of the Hughes XH-17 Flying Crane.
