I wanna see it fly!

[@freedomforever6718]

Sure looks like fun flying.

[@ChuckThree]

So damn cool looking 😍

[@zapfanzapfan]

Looking good!

[@roguesqadronairsoft]

I was hoping they'd release a replica of the Ju-87 or Ju-52. I would totally buy one of those if I could

[@suspicionofdeceit]

I’d prefer the Ju-88

[@user-vc7gf4kf4k]

yes yes yes yes yes wish I could afford one!!! Now to just hear it fly....and there better not be any noise drown out the radial music!!

[@spavatch]

Impressive

[@christopherbedford9897]

Well if that wasn't the most inspired presentation I've sever seen...

[@memonk11]

Wow!

[@loddude5706]

'Blah blah, words words words' . . . nice replica. : )

[@Pwj579]

How about doing something like the “resto-mod “ car community?
New reliable components and materials to enhance the performance ,but with classic design looks

[@galactictomato1434]

Uhhhh... Isn't that the Junkers A50 Junior with the Rotax, lol

[@navion1946]

Very cool. But they still won’t sell any.

[@wallymurray620]

Ok, cool looking ole plane…are they really selling any?

[@dragon2knight]

If last year was any indication, the price was a bit....high....but it's still a nice design study and hopefully someone not trying to make their fortune selling it will step up down the road and make this more in reach for the general population. No doubt it's beautiful!

[@edouble0325]

Dumb. Can you imagine if the FAA hadn’t frozen piston power plants 80 years ago, what’d we’ve have now. This is a major sign of the failure of GA to attract a market and government that will invest in it.

[@superkjell]

Does Junkers really want to celebrate their heritage?

[@kevinbarry71]

Legacy aircraft icons should be left to history. Aviation needs new ideas.

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

100% disagree. Don't buy one.

[@Ibrahimarm]

Why though? Are you going to tell me we should be scrapping the last airworthy Ford Trimotors next?

[@kevinbarry71]

@@Ibrahimarm try to pay attention; I didn't say scrap existing aircraft. I said design something new. The world has moved on quite a bit in the past 95 years

[@michaelmccarthy4615]

Hard to believe there is demand for these

[@Ibrahimarm]

@@kevinbarry71 There's plenty new, it's just not in the certified world.
