Nice pictures! Does anyone know what kind of engines D-AQUI (Ju-52) has? They look a little different from what I am accustomed to seeing.

Yes, compared to previous. However JDK has hit the nail on the head on another forum.

I hope he wont mind me quoting his words

Quote:
I'm most interested in your comment about Legends; after a four+ year gap, it was good to catch the show again, and I'd not use the term 'lacklustre' myself. My only issue was that despite several aircraft being new to me, it all seemed very familiar; I felt stuck in a timewarp. Clearly for some, the show's unchanging nature is a core part of it's attraction, I'd like to see some evolution.


Its still very good though.

Nick.....no wonder as a french canadian I still struggle with British humor & vocabulary.

So I gather it was a "very good lacklustre display"

:wink:

Tks for the pics
