This is a historic airplane, the so-called JU 52 or "Auntie Ju". It belongs to a series of aircrafts that have been built from the 1930s to the 1950s by Junkers, mostly used by the military. There are only a few of them left and nowadays they are mostly used for sightseeing flights over some of the biggest cities in Germany. Every now and then, like today, it circles over Dresden and I can always get a good peek at it from my balcony. The weather was especially cooperative today. Picture taken on May 26, 2008.
