DescriptionJunkers Ju52 (Lufthansa D-AQUI).jpg | One of the still flyable veterans of the Ju52 family is D-AQUI, which is today operated by DEUTSCHE LUFTHANSA AG in Germany. In April 1936 the aircraft was original delivered to Lufthansa as D-AQUI. As soon as June 1936 the aircraft was further sold to Norway, where it was operated by DNL. In June 1940, after the German occupation, the aircraft again returned to Lufthansa as D-AQUI. It was mainly used for flights within Norway during WWII and May 1945 it was captured by the Allied Forces. In 1947 the aircraft got an intensive repair, taking parts from an ex Ju52 seaplane (c/n 130714) from which several parts of the fuselage were taken and the right wing of c/n 2982. Shortly afterwards the aircraft went into service with DNL again as LN-KAF, named Askeladden. In 1956 the aircraft was sold to Ecuatoriana and was registered HC-ABS, named Amazonas. It was used as a freighter aircraft until 1963, when it was parked at Quito. In 1970 the aircraft was bought by an American Lester Weaver, who registered the aircraft N130LW. Martin Caidin finally bought the Ju52 in 1975 and performed a general overhaul of the aircraft. Now the aircraft was registered N52JU and named Iron Annie. Caidin presented the aircraft in flying condition on several airshows in the USA until 1984. In December 1984 Iron Annie returned to Germany and went into a major repair at Lufthansa Hamburg. After one year the work was finished and the aircraft was registered for Lufthansa as D-CDLH, but carrying the old registration D-AQUI. Since 1986 the aircraft, now named Tempelhof, is used for sightseeing flights. | ||
