The Ju 52 was in production between 1931 and 1952. In a civilian role, it flew with over 12 airlines, including Swissair and Deutsche Luft Hansa, as both a passenger carrier and a freight hauler. During the postwar era, the Ju 52 had a lengthy service life with numerous military and civilian operators; large numbers were still in use by the 1980s. Even in the 21st century, several aircraft have remained operational, typically used for purposes such heritage aviation displays and aerial sightseeing.

can you make a military virsion,

@Sharps,
Thanks. Probably not, because developers may "fix" that wheel glitch. Btw it's not new, I first used that in March 2021 on my Fokker F VIIb/3m.
