Junker JU-52 is she flying ?

Sun Jul 06, 2008 1:15 pm

Greetings
I was recently looking at the Roster for the Bird that are slated for TOM and saw that the Great Lakes Wing's JU-52 was scratched. Why ?

The JU-52 is no longer with the Great Lakes Wing. I believe the plane is up for reassignment with another wing.

Thanks Mike !
I hope that she will not sit like the Tinker Belle did :cry:

The JU-52 is currently at Midland, TX, waiting for reassignment to another wing. The Great Lakes Wing commander and the Ops Officer, the only two pilots that are currently checked off on it, will fly the airplane in the Big CAF show in September (we have a couple other JU-52 pilots--not sure they are JU-52 current right now). After that, who knows what will happen.
