Aerolegends operated T-6 Texan taxiing for departure to Duxford. This T-6 wears a striking yellow trainer scheme of the California ANG, USAAF. The Bücker Bü 133 Jungmeister was a German sports aircraft manufactured by Bücker Flugzeugbau and a single-seater development of the Bücker Bü 131 biplane. The Bü 133 was somewhat smaller, single-seater and more powerful, but otherwise largely identical to the Bü 131, from which 40% of components were adopted. The design comes from Bücker's chief designer Anders Johan Andersson. The first flight of the Bü 133 V1 (D–EVEO) prototype, equipped with a Hirth HM 506 in-line engine, took place on 21 August 1935 by Bücker's factory pilot Luise Hoffmann. [2] It was available with a Hirth HM 506 in-line engine with 119 kW (160 hp) as the Bü 133 A (prototype V1), as the Bü 133 B with the same engine or from 1937 as the Bü 133 C (see data), in which the fuselage was shortened and which was powered by a Siemens-Halske radial engine Sh 14-A4 with 119 kW (160 hp). An exception was the first two Bü 133 B (D–EAKE and YR–PAX), which were also equipped with the Sh 14 instead of the HM 506. The aircraft was used by various air forces primarily for aerobatic and air combat training. In 1938, a nine-Bü 133 C aerobatic squadron was even created within the Wehrmacht under the command of Captain Trübenbach. Because of its maneuverability and clean stall behavior, it was also popular as a civilian competition aerobatic aircraft for a long time. Among others, Albert Falderbaum, Otto Heinrich Graf von Hagenburg and Liesel Bach, who mastered the Bü 133, should be mentioned here. Bücker's chief pilot Arthur Benitz was the first to fly over the Andes in a single-engine sports aircraft in a Bü 133. A total of about 280 Bü 133s were built, 52 of which were under license from Dornier (in Altenrhein in Switzerland), of which a few are still registered in Germany today.
