FrankPilot 133 Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Come with me to see the origins of the famous/infamous German Junkers Ju-52 Trimotor, the last ones to fly, & the possibility of a new Ju-52NG from 2026. Enjoy a fly-by/tower view at the end. Hope you enjoy. Cheers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,308 Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Can't go wrong with three engines. You never disappoint Frank, thanks for bringing this information into my brain. One of my favorite movies as a ten year old kid was Where Eagles Dare(1968) with Clint Eastwood, I think my first blip of wanting to fly was watching the Ju-52 flying in the snow covered mountains during the closing credits. In Panavision no less. That plane, I believe was the same one that crashed in Switzerland in 2018. As a side note, the movie used T-6's for German fighters. When will they stop lying to us kids. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,495 Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Great aircraft. Wow, it has a very short take off run! Seems to lift before the speed is active but I notice you had pulled the yoke right back. More3 great content Frank, thanks for posting 1 Link to post Share on other sites
