I live mear Frankfurt and I often see Lufthansas example rumbling about. I was up in Cologne last week and I saw another – which appeared to have red engine cowlings. Lufthansas D-AQUI didn´t/doesn´t. What gives?

AFAIK D-CDLH is usually based at Cologne. A bit of useless info is that she is actually painted with her original registration as she was D-AQUI before being sold to Norway in the 1930’s.

Sorry, I didn’t find out how to set up a table here
So for Germany that is the Lufthansa one and the Ju-Air Hapimag in Mönchengladbach normaly, but in the south in the Munich area we often have one of the three other Ju-Air Ju 52 flying.
@James D:
What you saw should have been the CASA of Ju-Air which is painted in Hapimag-Colours (see: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/571634/L/ )
Thanks for all that. I guess it could have been the Hapimag one. I was looking into the sun I think – but its hard to belive I missed the rest of that paint scheme! It certainly sounded different to Lufthansas example.
Thanks guys!

Doesn’t Ju-Air have in flying condition three genuine Ju-52s, and one Casa 352?

Ju-Air operates 3 or 4 ex-Swiss-Air-Force Ju-52s. I think during the summer months one example is based at Mönchengladbach for sightseeing tours.

There is another one based at Monchengladbach, It is in a high viz livery at the moment, guess it was the one you saw. BW Roger

The plot thickens!
I haven´t heard of Swiss Ju Air – how many aircraft do they operate?
This one definitely wasn´t static!
By: ...starfire - 29th August 2004 at 17:33
AFAIK, there´s just the “D-AQUI” (= D-CDLH) flying. And the planes of Swiss Ju-Air have blue cowlings.
But I´m not sure, whether Cologne airport hasn´t got a Ju-52 on static display. I will find out.
