Spanish license-built Junkers Ju-52/3m, built as passenger aircraft, military trainer, logistics, paratrooper and troop transport. A total of 170 CASA352 units were built from 1942 to 1954, the "L" version having the more powerful 775 hp ENMA (Elizalde) Beta B-4 engines and a top speed of 175 mph at sea level.
The last unit was in service until 1974, and another unit was employed by the paratroopers' school in Alcantarilla until the late 70s. Unit 36-8 served with the 36th Wing at Gando Air Base on the Canary Islands, Spain.
Several CASA 352 and 352-L units are on display in very good condition in museums in different countries, and quite a few still fly today. Virtual and Transparent cockpit elements added using SCASM. Includes custom panel with modified engine gauges, RPM and Boost gauges programmed by Ivan.
