For something that looks like a garden shed on the ground, it's such a graceful bird in the air, although you do get to appreciate it for a loooong time as it ain't exactly fast.
 
To confirm the "long time" comment , a fellow model club member and I were driving to the 1980 Academy of Model Aeronautics nationals in Wilmington Ohio. I was riding passenger and we were in Ohio when I saw a speck through the windshield. I asked Rick, " isn't that a Ju 52 flying towards us ?" He agreed and it was in view for a half hour before passing over us. Closing speed must have been maybe 200 mph. I had read a few months earlier that Martin Caiden had bought a Ju 52 and we guessed that was the delivery flight.
