Arrived in Switzerland yesterday, upon getting to Glarus (the town where my in-laws live), my attention was whisked away as I noticed a slowly building droning in the distance, that unique sound that only three BMW radials can make, it did not take me long to spot the Tante Ju, as it ponderously made its way across the valley and then disappeared beyond one of the nearby mountain peaks.

Later in the day while taking a walk around a nearby lake the Ju52 for a second time graced my piece of sky, only to then disappear again between some adjacent peaks.

Just to Cool.

It is a rare sight indeed! Ju52 and mountains in 2016! gosh this plane is so old and still flying... amazing!

The biggest formation of ju52! incredible in 2016!

Well I've been in Munich for the past three days, however a major shock was to find that the main aviation hall (among other halls) at the Deutsches Museum are closed for renovation, luckily most of the more important exhibits (to me) like the Me262, Bf109, Me163, etc have been relocated to Oberschleissheim, however the Ju52 (and some other key exhibits) were nowhere to be found at any of the three museum sights :(

Arrived back in Switzerland this afternoon and as we had a 20 minute wait for our train connection, we decided to hop off at a station by the Zurichsee to wait. While there I could here this strangely loud rumble coming from across the lake in the direction of Dubendorf, and then I could see a strange large something rising above the lake and heading towards me, then it became clear, it was not just one big something but three smaller things, as the distinctive shapes of three Ju52s in loose formation approached and then proceeded to fly overhead, as if just to say "David welcome back to Switzerland".

Occasionally seeing the one Ju52 is pretty well cool enough, but to have a formation of three was just way extra cool, now all I need is to have a four ship flight do a fly by and to also have the telephoto lens with me at the time.

A trip to Dubendorf is still on the cards, so I'm hoping that the weather will be fine on the day that I go, so I may get the chance to take some shots of Ju's landing and taking off, also it just so happens that the loading point and hangers for the Ju's is right next to the museum entrance.

Thank for sharing your experience Spudkopf!
there many cool video inside the cockpit on internet, with watching some, I can really feel the atmosphere...

By the way, a new junkers F13 has been built, it is like a "tiny" ju52 ! the first all metal passenger plane!

The videos show the construction, which is very interesting because it is an insight on how those kind of airplane were made...

You are Lucky man))

Sorry for the poor quality, but the panel is behind glass and I did not have a polarising filter or anything else with which to kill the reflections, as it is I had to do 30 second exposures to maximise the depth of field, and I've more or less plonked the crude results here as is.

I can send you the full resolution originals of the images if they are any used to you?

yes it would be nice!) Thank you)

Attaching them to an email as I type, so take a look at your email in a few ticks.
