Not that it would be very important, but I´m rather sure you saw the Lufthansa
history plane, a Junkers Ju 52. This plane has now American P&W engines in it
because delivery of parts for the original BMW engines has stopped a long time
ago. Just a few weeks ago I saw it flying right over my house. Very impressive.
