1967 Bücker BÜ133 “Jüngmeister” Replica N258H
This replica of a Bücker BU133 open cockpit, advanced training biplane, was built by Samuel Burgess. Originally in the 1930’s, the Jungmeister was designed to train German military pilots. The Jungmeister, which means “Young Master” in German, is well known for its superbly harmonized controls and aerobatic capabilities. Burgess flew this aircraft on a 13,000 mile tour of the United States. He landed in all fifty states between April 1 and June 30 of 1970. The flight raised awareness of the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), homebuilt aircraft, and grass roots aviation. It also showed that an amateur-built aircraft could equal commercially built aircraft in terms of safety, practicality, reliability and durability.
Donated By: Lt Col. Samuel Burgess USAF, Honolulu, HI.
