If there are a plane really classic that is the Ju-52, the workhorse of the Lufthansa and Luftwaffe in the 30s and 40s.

Nice set...well done on choice of aircraft...always did like tri-motors...

Wish there was a model for FSX of the Bushmaster which was a reworked Ford Tri-motor...

WOW!!! Sweet set!

But I do hafta admit, when I first saw the thread title my first thought that it was something I was missing in my Tai Chi regimen........or a kama-sutra excercise that the misses and I hadn't heard of.

I recently finished a copy of my flight godmother, using as base the Tante Ju of W.O.Ficher. I was seven years old when I lost my virginity with this Tante Ju ("tía Juliana" in Spain) from iBERiA, on a special flight from Pamplona to Madrid, to save my life: Guadiana was retired & replaced by a DC-3 in October 1950. All that flight I was seating on my uncle (the copilot) legs, the visibility from that glass house of a cockpit is unbelievable, the side windows open like the VW Combi T1 (split windshield VW transporter):









Since that flight took place in my birthday (January 18, 1950) I am flying GUADiANA in Silver Wings version of FS 2004: from Pamplona of course!!. Jean

Awesome dear Loup. I´ve been looking Ju-52 repaints for months but your "falangist plane" (with yoke and arrows) was unknown for me. Good job my friend!!!!!

I lived in Spain when Franco was the "generalísimo", and civil war destruction was still in reconstruction, a very poor country & a very poor Europe, on those days. Taxi cabs in Madrid where Ford model "A's", all painted black with a red stripe. Buses where two deckers by Leyland (squarer) or Guy (a little rounder front) converted for right hand drive traffic. BUT TODAY, I noticed a BuBu with my repaint/texture: I forgot the wing view from the cockpit!!

I did not change the ZS-AFB register when viewing wings from the cockpit


Now, corrected (aircrafty painters in Barajas must have been drunk!! I fired them) as EC-AAI (but some definition was lost correcting! )


And a rare photo of this plane
