Flugzeug Classic is a German trade magazine that deals with historical aircraft. It was founded in 2000, initially published every two months by GeraMond Verlag . Today's editor-in-chief is Markus Wunderlich. The magazine, which now appears monthly with a circulation of around 30,000, contains reports on the history of aviation and portraits of the most important aircraft from all eras. In addition to reports on wreck salvages, restorations, new construction projects, aviation pioneers, accidents and air shows, there are reports on historical, airworthy civil and military aircraft with background information. In addition, the booklets contain service articles on flight simulations, aviator films and new releases such as from the field of model making.

The layout of the magazine was created by freelance graphic designers until 2010. Since then, Flugzeug Classic has been produced in-house.
