Der Sound ist unverkennbar. Wie oft höre ich diesen Sound, ohne das ich die Ju52 sehe und ich weiß sofort, es ist die Ju52. Da geht einfach nix drüber. Einfach eine Synfonie von Propeller und Sternmotor Sound vom Feinsten.

they seem to fly remarkably well, despite their age. excellent machines .

After viewing various videos of this, their DC-3, their Constellation and others, I have to say this: the Swiss REALLY know how to take good care of an airplane!

My guess is that the Junkers Ju 52 ran the BMW 132 engines. Not sure if these are the original engines, though.

Dear Matthias: I could probably write an entire magazine article commenting on this video of our much-loved Tante Ju: about your MESMERIZING Poetic Letter, about how this puts me in a mood for living, about the timeless "MUSIK DES FLIEGENS" of those radial engines, and so on. But it's so MUCH MORE than that. Since I joined your absolutely splendid channel and visited your website-blog, I have gained a deep and abiding affection for the Swiss-Austrian-German Aviation Community. So it's only natural that the August accident of Aunt Ju HB-HOT hurts me to the tears. So There, My Friend, all I can say is the following: May this Masterpiece of a Video be an Eternal TRIBUTE to Those who died and suffer! May it remain perpetual, even when Aunt Ju is no longer able to fly! And come to think of it, Matt, May ALL of your Extraordinary Effort, your Channel, your Talent and your Enthusiasm be THE GRANDEST TRIBUTE OF THEM ALL!!! Yours Truly, JAVIER.

Hi Javier, thank you so much for your great thoughts and kind words. I appreciate them very much. The accident was a real nightmare. Only highly experienced pilots military and airline pilots flew this aircraft. The Ju52 was painstakingly serviced and was in a great condition. So it is hard to understand why this crash happened. May the victims rest in peace and the relatives find good comfort.

I love JU !!

Ein unglaublich edles Flugzeug, wunderschön anzusehen...

Aunty Julie 💖! I would name her Cloud Chaser. " Wolkenjäger" She is at home in the air as a kestrel. Tri -Motor BMW radials their symbol is a stylized spinning propeller. This craft has a bit of a likeness to the Ford Tri -Motor.

I got about an hour stick time in one of these. It belonged to the Commemorative Air Force and had been rebuilt at Fort Collins, CO. They wanted to get it to Midland, Texas to be painted and offered to let anyone who was willing to buy the fuel to fly it down there (with a qualified pilot in the left seat) Five of us popped for the flight and each of us got about an hour flying it. We spent most of our time trying to get all three engines in sync.

That was truly so enjoyable!! There is something hard to pin down about radial engines. They look so 'old' but actually in practice they are silky smooth and powerful. They do not seem strained at all like the modern screaming jet turbine engine.. radials, i LOVE them :)

Today i seated in exactly this machine. It was in a museum. Sadly there no big chance to see them in the sky again. The crash gave them the rest. Many times i saw one of these over our house. When i heard them, i ran out and i knew what type of plane is coming and i had always enjoyed that. I hope one of these will fly sometimes again but i have less hope:(

This old girl is a classic. A great book to read is Sepik Pilot by James Sinclair about how Ju-52s were purchased after the war and used as far afield as Papua New Guinea ferrying freight around in treacherous weather. Wing Commander Gibbs flew these old birds as well as others around the island. Those were the days when flying was flying!!!
