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.
