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

How to fly a Junkers Ju 52 "Tante Ju". Take your place inside the Cockpit of this great plane and enjoy the team working on starting this plane, keeping it in the air and finally land them on grass again.

Video Recorded @ Albstadt Degerfeld end of August 2017.

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.

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.

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

I had the pleasure of flying in the janvanriebiek in Za in the 80, s, I so remember the trimming of the flaps using the wooden wheel, also one of the passengers commented on the oil leakage from the radial motors only to be told a leaky motor is a happy motor, what a plane😅

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.

Vielen Dank für diese Einladung um mit die Tante Ju in die Cockpit mit zu vliegen. Das wunderbare Gesumm von die 3 Motoren !
Herzliche Grüßen aus Antwerpen, Roger :-)

Great video, I love Albstadt and Degerfeld. I was once a member of the club and still have my flight logbook. A great place to learn flying and great people to be with.

Gorgeous scenery! Love the plane too. A very nice example. It was such a nice day, I would have thought the guys would hang their elbows out the windows. Wonderful vid - thanks for sharing.

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 !!

Great video! I love the JU 52. Amazing plane. I flew also on this HB-HOS. Cheers!

Wonderful! That`s the real feeling of being airborne in a video. In my life I had twice the chance to do the same up to now!

I remember when i was a kid, i used to see this wonderfull plane, droping parachutists ( training ) near my town ( ENTRONCAMENTO ) in Portugal and it was from an air base - BASE Aérea 3 TANCOS - in the center of my country. All the kids was crazy when we saw this magnificent "BIRD". My phather- in- law, Sargeant José Pereira Ribeiro, was the engineer in a JU 82 crew. Thank you very much for this awesome video.

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 had the honor myself to fly with it. one of the greatest moments of my life

War sehr Interessant die Instrumente zu Beobachten während des Starts, Flug und Landung!
Vielen Dank!

Great advertisement for BMW motors. Love those air cooled radials.

I got to fly the CAF JU52 years ago. Crosscountry and airshows were great adventures. Perhaps the most fun of any aircraft in the CAF fleet other than fighters. The '"office" in this one appears to be beautifully restored.

4:30 what a smooth takeoff, she just wants to fly naturally. Beautiful sound quality capturing the resonance from the 3 motors.

Mit Junkers erkannt,
wie schön ist das Land!
