How to fly the Junkers Ju 52 Airplane - Inside the Cockpit

[@wingnutzster]

I flew over greater Johannesburg in the 80’s in our once pristine ZS-AFA ex SAA JU52 - the smell, sound and view over the huge corrugated wing with the obvious engine fuel gauge stalks and the crew working furiously throughout the approach, pumping and turning wheels and getting up then sitting down again, it was an amazing experience now quite rare since she’s now relegated to a museum, brought back to me vividly by this video... so thanks.

[@reginaldverasmus1656]

I too had the privilege to fly along east london coast at 100 foot with the windows wound down. An amazing experience. Today it cannot fly due to lack of tyres

[@johnprice7303]

Without question...the best flight video which I have ever watched, it is simply superb!

[@Warbirds]

Thanks John for watching !

In 1992 I had the pleasure of meeting an elderly German couple. Hans spoke of being a JU 52 pilot flying resupply missions to North Africa. Wonderful conversation and happy for it.

[@Warbirds]

wow awesome

[@richardtroy1839]

I happened on this video and my mind went immediately to Stalingrad. I flew into Gumrak airfield near Volgograd two summers ago on a historical tour and also read much of the final evacuations of the wounded in 1942 as the Russians closed in on the Kessel during the dead of winter. That, plus being a former AF pilot, combined to make this more than just a pleasant aerial sojourn over southern Germany. Thank you for the touch of history.

[@jayess2119]

similar to the Ford Trimotor though - I guess the 2 were developed independently - engineering, yes, as for aesthetics (Junkers 88 a sort of ''ugly duckling'' I'd say), the Heinkel 111 - with the famous glass front - and Messerschmitt me 262- the 1st jet-powered fighter plane - very nice, in fact the Messerschmitt, I'd say, one of most beautiful of all time - in design and streamlined shape

My uncle who has since passed away, was good friends with a pilot who flew the Junkers Ju 52 during the war. He had carried Adolf Hitler around. One day, as they were coming in on opproach, the aircraft came under allied fire, and they had to ditch the plane near the edge of a forest. years later, the aircraft , was found, rebuilt, and flown to an airshow in upstate New York. I have that airshow book , with the pilots signature in it. Thanks for the video! Looks like an awesome ride !!

And just to help you, the correct spelling is "father", not "phather". The "ph" spelling is not very common in English. Far, from, fountain, front, father, friend, etc. Versu physician, physical, phobia, etc. In fact, I can't think of any words that aren't Latin that use the "ph" spelling.

Wunderschön. Das ist halt noch Fliegen. Hatte 1978 den PPL in Kempten-Durach/Allgäu gemacht. Leider habe ich ihn nicht mehr, zu wenig Flugstunden. Einer meiner Lehrer war ein alter Herr, Herr Müller, der im WK II die JU 52 geflogen ist. Und wenn ich das Video hier so sehe, dann kommt mir das ein bisschen vor wie damals auch die Flugstunden mit der Piper PA 18. Man hat die Bewegungen genau gespürt und hat noch mit den Händen gemerkt, was da in der Luft mit dem Flugzeug vor sich geht. Das schöne Knattern der Motoren hört sich einfach wunderbar an und man sieht auch hier im Video, wie die Piloten noch manuell und mit viel Gefühl jeden Handgriff machen und wie die Maschine reagiert. Das hat mit Videos aus dem Cockpit eines modernen Flugzeugs nicht viel gemeinsam. Danke fürs Hochladen.

I have loved flying since the wheels lifted off the ground on the very first Cessna I ever got a ride in as a little kid in 1971. A year later, I got my own stick time in a Taylorcraft BC-12. I have always preferred flight in an aircraft with real character and charm, and yes, even sometimes a little of what today's generations might call 'discomfort'. A sardine-packed, amenity-poor flight on a tubeliner these days (and no offense intended to my former Alaska Airlines Captain brother-in-law) lacks any of the charm of even early flights on Boeing 727s, Douglas DC-9s, and the glorious B-747 I spent the better part of two days on in an overlong deployment in the Air Force. Give me a flight on a plane with "round engines" any day. I've flown aboard a Ford Tri-Motor, the elder brother to the superb Ju-52/3m. I can only hope one day to get a ride on this find old bird. My compliments to the operators and company backers of the glorious Tanta Ju. That's what Golden Age flying is all about.

Not the best camerawork ever, but good video anyway. Wonderful sound; my subwoofer is vibrating my windows. Oil level gauge integral with the oil filler cap ahead of the windshield? I see they have similar "poles" behind all three engines, and it can't be for coolant levels. Interesting to note how the control yokes vibrate when he takes his hand off; I'd say from wind buffeting, but I saw it do the same thing on the ground (perhaps propwash though?). Also interesting to see just how fast even slow old crates like these move over the ground. It's very apparent at such a low altitude; even slow planes are really quite fast compared to automobiles, or walking on foot!
