Dec 2nd, 2018 : Junker to Junk
The Junker Ju 52/3m is the tri-motor version of the transport plane built from 1931 to 1952 in Germany.
It was used by a dozen airlines and the Luftwaffe as a troop/cargo carrier and a bomber. They mostly retired in the 1980s but some were still used for tourist sightseeing flights. In August one of the last ones crashed. The Google translating of the site seems a little wonky but it works. Quote:

That rock looks unyielding alright.
I have been interested in airplanes for a long time and BMW since I bought one in 1968 (also had a BMW-based Bristol engined car) but never knew there sere so many BMW aircraft engines. Google them for some beauts. |

See that emblem? It's a propeller, aircraft engines are their roots.

That may be, but there are plenty of people out there that don't know.

Like people in every town and city in America. They know it's the BMW emblem but no clue it represents a propeller, or even there's a BMW aircraft connection.
