1954 Bucker B-131 Jungmann CASA 1.131E

For sale due to retirement of the owner. Ready to certify airworthiness and fly when its new owner has been found.

This is a spanish-licensed version of the Bücker Bü-131 Jungmann, the CASA 1.131E, designated as E3B in the Spanish Air Force. It was manufactured in 1954 and has serial number 2193 E3B-507. This makes it a series 2000 CASA 1.131E.

This aircraft belonged to the Spanish Air Force since its construction in 1954 until it was auctioned by the Spanish Air Force in Albacete to its first private owner in 1984. The aircraft was auctioned with the Elizalde (ENMA) Tigre G-IV-A2 nº 4247 engine and ENHA HC-212-111 nº 11438 propeller. The first owner swapped the engine in 1988 for the upgraded Elizalde (ENMA) G-IV-A5 nº 40025.

This is the aircraft's second private owner and who acquired the aircraft in 2007 from the owner. When the aircraft was bought, it underwent a major airframe and engine overhaul. The propeller was swapped for a new custom-made wooden propeller with a brass-reinforced leading edge from Clerici in Buenos Aires, Argentina, tailored for the flight envelope and the power plant of the aircraft. A flop tube fuel pickup line was fitted to avoid starving the engine during negative g aerobatics. An onboard starter motor and battery were fitted too. During the current ownership of this aircraft, the airframe, engine and propeller have flown 200 hours.

In preparation for its new owner, the aircraft underwent on 2025 a major airframe and engine overhaul. The aircraft has always been stored in a private closed hangar and is in great condition. The dacron has not been exposed to the sun for anything other than flying and remains in excellent condition too.

The link below directs you to pictures taken during the past years from aviation enthusiasts at air shows we have taken part in. A meeting can be arranged to see the aircraft on site. If the new buyer's location required the aircraft to be shipped or ferried, these costs can be negotiated depending on conditions.
