Lufthansa's Ju 52/3m D-CDLH "Berlin-Tempelhof" on short final to Schleißheim Airfield (EDNX).
Note that the better known D-AQUI "registration" is just decoration for historical reasons. As an aircraft between 5.7 and 14 tons MTOW she had to carry a D-C... registration, Lufthansa did choose the D-CDLH letters because DLH stands for Deutsche Luft Hansa.
The Ju 52/3m is a trimotor transport aircraft manufactured from 1931 to 1952 - post WWII production was at Avions Amiot in France ("Amiot AAC 1 Toucan") and at Casa in Spain ("CASA 352" and "CASA 352L") - the Spanish Ejército del Aire (Air Force) operated the model well into the 1970ies for parachutist training..
The airplane was initially designed as a single-engine aircraft, but finally produced as a trimotor hence the /3m suffix in the designation (3m = 3 Motoren = 3 engines).
Junkers Flugzeugwerk pioneered civil air transport like no other company - already in 1919 the Junkers F 13 was the world's first all-metal transport aircraft (the 1925 Ford Trimotor just copied the structural principles from the pioneering work of Hugo Junkers - and Ford was successfully sued by Junkers for patent infringement).
Short history of this particular airplane:
Built at Junkers in Dessau, the Lufthansa Ju 52/3m made her maiden flight in 1936. Initially in service with Deutsche Luft Hansa with the original D-AQUI registration, she then spent almost 20 years alternating between Germany and Norway. 1955 saw her finally taken out of service in Norway. Too large for a museum in Oslo, she was sold to South America where she flew in Ecuador from 1957 to 1963. Abandoned and exposed to the elements at the edge of Quito Airport, she fell into oblivion until an American airplane enthusiast rescued her in 1969. Later on, spectators were able to admire "Aunt Ju", now known as "Iron Annie", at air shows across the United States before she was purchased by Lufthansa in 1984 and painstakingly restored for Lufthansa's 60th birthday.
Final grounding:
After a new flying career with over 11,500 hours flying time at Lufthansa the airplane had to be grounded in 2018 due to structural damage, the repair proved too expensive. Since 2019 the plane is grounded forever.
In September 2020 she was disassembled and road-delivered to Paderborn/Lippstadt airport where the historical aircraft preservation club "Quax – Verein zur Förderung von historischem Fluggerät" will re-assemble her and put her on static display.

Der Vilsalpsee ist ein 1165 m hoch gelegener See in den oesterreichischen Alpen. Aus ihm entspringt der Fluss Vils. Unterhalb von Gaishorn und Rauhorn gelegen, ist er ein beliebtes Touristenziel im Tannheimer Tal. Um den See herum fuehrt ein leichter Wanderweg, ueber den man am Talende den Bergaicht-Wasserfall erreicht. Seit 1957 umgibt ihn das Naturschutzgebiet Vilsalpsee, in dem viele Arten gedeihen, darunter seltene Orchideen. Fuer den Haubentaucher stellt der See das hoechstgelegene Brutgebiet Oesterreichs dar.
Der Vilsalpsee gehoert zum Bundesland Tirol, Bezirk Reutte, Gemeinde Tannheim. Er befindet sich im Vilsalptal, einem suedlichen Nebental des Tannheimer Tals, das von Suedwest nach Nordost verläuft. Am Uebergang vom Vilsalptal zum Tannheimer Tal befindet sich der Ort Tannheim. Von hier fuehrt eine Strasse bis zum Nordufer, die sich als gesperrter Fahrweg bis ans Talende im Suedwesten fortsetzt.

Uft, such a late upload, I'm sorry! Yesterday, my brother had to cut the connection 'cause I was being too stubborn to sleep haha. D:
Anyway, I'm trying some new edits with my photos. I think this one looks good enough to satisfy me. :)

Captured short before touchdown at Braunschweig, Germany (EDVE). This Do 228, registration D-CODE, is owned by the DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) - Germany's national research center for aeronautics and space. The DLR Flight Facility Braunschweig has 5 fixed wing airplanes (incl. 1 glider) and 2 helicopters.
This particular Do 228-101 is highly modified for research purposes.
Data Dornier Do 228-101:
Length: 15.03 metres
Height: 4.86 metres
Wingspan: 16.97 metres
Seats:15 (fitted with only nine seats for DLR research purposes)
Empty mass: 3.7 tonnes
Total mass (MTOW): 5.98 tonnes
Engines: 2 Garret TPE 331-5, 715 shp each
Propeller: Four-blade Hartzell propeller - HC-B4TN-5 ML-LT 10574 AB (EL) model with reverse thrust
Range: 2,700 kilometres
Flight altitude: maximum 7,600 metres (25,000 feet)
Speed (VMO): 200 KIAS (<15,000 ft) / 165 KIAS (25,000 ft)
Endurance: 8 hours
Fuel tank capacity: 1,814 kg (4156 lbs) usable fuel
The following modifications differentiate the DLR's D-CODE from the standard Dornier Do 228-101 model:
- Meteorological sensors for measuring turbulence, pressure, humidity, and wind speed and direction
- Hardpoints on the outside and on top of the fuselage, underneath the wings, on the fuselage fore and aft sections, and on the nose of the fuselage. These can be used to install a nose boom with integrated flow probe capable of measuring airspeed, sideslip angle and angle of attack
- Extra cargo door in the left side of the fuselage (1.3 metres x 1.4 metres)
- Two openings in the rear cabin floor (20 centimetres x 60 centimetres and 50 centimetres x 60 centimetres) for experiment units
- A telescopic tube leading outside through the front cabin floor, for remote sensing purposes
- Two bubble windows at the rear of the cabin
- Power supply (28 volt DC, plus 115 and 220 volt AC) for operating experiments and the oxygen system which supplies breathing air to the crew members at altitudes of up to 7,600 metres (25,000 feet)
- High-precision IGI navigation system (Ingenieur-Gesellschaft für Interfaces mbH)
- Mounting rails in the cabin to install experiment racks
- Computer system for online communication and data transfer (down- and uplink) between the aircraft and the ground station
