p.s. Al, your anti-German hatred is showing. Who doesn't love the
Ju-52? It is one of the world's greatest civilian aircraft of all
time.

Your bias is showing. I have flown in both the Ju-52 and DC-3. I found the
DC-3
superior.

The Ju-52 was Martin Caiden's.

Neat. I recall seeing that same aircraft back in the very late seventies
when Caidin flew it into Langley AFB for an openhouse. There were three
warbirds there--the Junkers, a P-38, and IIRC an AT-6. IIRC Caidin taxied in
to the display line with his head poked up through an overhead hatch while
waving at the crowd? Long time ago...

That was the last weekend in July 1978. The P-38 belonged to Pete Sherman if I
recall correctly. I got my rides (2) in the Junkers the day before the open
house with the P-38 and some other airplane, I can't recall it's designation,
in formation.

It was rather interesting watching the P-38 easily pass us with one prop
feathered.
