TheJunkers Ju 88 is a German World War II Luftwaffe twin-engined multirole combat aircraft. Junkers Aircraft and Motor Works (JFM) designed the plane in the mid-1930s as a so-called Schnellbomber ("fast bomber") that would be too fast for fighters of its era to intercept. It suffered from technical problems during its development and earlyAfricanExpress Airways only operates two aircraft - the DC-9 (with registration 5Y-AXP) and one MD-82 aircraft. At just over 40 years old, it is younger than the other cargo DC-9s still in service. African Express Airways still has the DC-9 in its fleet, but it may not be active.

TheMiami Opa-Locka-based company has one active DC-6 at the moment. According to , this aircraft, registration N70BF, provides contract service for aerial dispersant services for emergency oil spill response. Perhaps the most widely known DC-6 flying out there, The Flying Bulls of Red Bull, currently operate a DC-6B registration OE-LDM.
Whileit would not take to the skies for four more months, N7470 heralded the future of commercial aviation.During its 54-year production run, 1,574 of the type were built, spanning several generations – from the 747-100 of the 1970s through to the recently completed 747-8 program. Of that 1,574, around a quarter are still listed as active onAircraftlike the nearly-forgotten 10-engine Convair B-36 Peacemaker. The B-36 was a huge leap in size and performance over its predecessors. It remains the largest piston-powered combat aircraftAsfar as I know yes. There are lots of static ones around but none are in an airworthy condition. Gnomey, Feb 28, 2007. #2. Andy in West Oz Senior Member. Adam, I think the Stukas used in The Battle of Britain film were flying models. However, I also seem to remember something about Proctors being modified. Asmy flight was nearest the Stukas, we went after the farthest formation. of speed and altitude usually allowed the spy planes to evade enemy fighters and dash through flak—but things could still go wrong on their long-distance spy missions. the floatplanes were extremely vulnerable to flak guns and enemy fighters—and there were DNFmMkf.
