Post by: Nilsen on September 03, 2004, 02:08:47 PM: in another lake there are several ju52's in perfect condition. they had to do emergency landings on the lake when they invaded norway. they froze and when spring came and the ice melted they sank and are sitting perfectly on the bottom

i think that is what happened to these planes too

No They were stationed on a frozen lake because their base was not safe. The weather changed and the ice melted. The planes just sank.

Post by: Nilsen on September 03, 2004, 02:27:20 PM: The 111 will be sent to a museum in Germany in exchange for an airworthy Starfighter. The ju88 will prolly stay in Norway.

Post by: J_A_B on September 03, 2004, 08:30:49 PM: What good are they sitting in a museum collecting dust? A cardboard mock-up can serve the same purpose. I'm all for flying the until there's no more left that can fly.

I saw her fly once (think it was that one) at the 50th anniversary of Bardufoss airfield, when I was a kid.
ummm i got picks of that plane at my local air show,,confederate airforce right?,,i watched it fly in about 3 years ago,,you sure it is not still flying? maybe they stopped flying her after that,,but i got picks of me standing next to one just 3 years ago,,2001 i beleve,,sure is a pretty plane,,it flew in with the confederate airforces b17 side by side,,i even got a heinkel he111 hat still in my room from it,,pilot told me it was the last flying one in the world,,use to be a spanish plane i beleve

The CAF He111 crashed not to long ago just out side cheyanne, wy.:( That is why we need one that is airworthy.

that sucks,,i didnt know that one crashed,,i wonder if it was the same pilot that i talked to that day:( only a few years ago i watched it fly in,,took alot of pics of it i guess i better hold on to them sence that plane is no more:( sad indeed was a very pretty plane
