Bucker Jungmann
Discussion
Just got back from an amazing flight in a Bucker Jungmann and just wanted to share some pictures...
There is a small private airstrip around a 1/2 mile from my house, and I happened to by chatting to the chap who owns the plane yesterday - when he found out I had done some flying and my dad was an aircraft engineer he very generously invited me for a flight today. He imported the plane a few years ago from Spain (ex-Spanish air force) and has been restoring it ever since. Having only flown C-152's it was quite something, especially the roll just as we got close to North Berwick harbour! Just an amazing experience!

Some people have all the luck.
I presume that must be one of the CASA licence built examples.
Yep, its a 1961 CASA built on licence with a Tigre engine - the owner is about to change the carb over to allow inverted flight but apart from that it looks really original. I have around 35 hours on C152's and it has really spurred me on to get back to Florida to finish my licence off!Some people have all the luck.
