AirVenture 2012 - Showplanes | ||||||
|
I enjoyed seeing this German Ju-52 up
close. The "Auntie Ju" was Germany's main transport plane in WWII,
the equivalent of our DC-3/C-47. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Even better, I got to see the Ju-52 fly. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
The pilot was really yanking and
banking the Ju-52 at low level. | ||||||

| To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Piper J-3 Cub, 75 or so Cubs flew in Sunday morning and were parked promenantly in the South 40. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
This Cub has a three-cylinder radial
engine. We talked with the owner and were surprised to find that he
is based out of nearby Frederick, Maryland. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Bruce likes his J-3 Cub but he really likes this Super Chub! | ||||||
 |

Gotta like those Amphibs. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| Now that is one nice polish job. | ||||||
