Hello everyone!
15 years ago, Lufthansa purchased 3 former TWA Lockheed L-1649 to make a airworthy one. All 3 planes were shipped to the USA and work was made for years. But 2018 work was cancelled due to extreme costs. 2019 the aircraft was shipped to Bremen where it caught dust for 2 years until it was transported again to Paderborn. October 2023 the aircraft was transported to Lufthansa technic in Hamburg where work was continued. It should get the Lufthansa 1950s livery as soon as possible and should be moved to FRA together with the Ju-52 D-AQUI in time for the 100th Anniversary of the airline.
