May 6, 20233 yr With the Transall the Luftwaffe flew over the last forty to fifty years countless emergency food supply missions to this part of the world. This is an early paint that was used in the 1980s. The orange part never lasted long and soon faded out. I was lucky to have flown in this bird quite a few times. This Azurpoly version is pretty much spot on. The Blue Eye of the Sahara is a prominent geological formation in the Sahara desert that stretches across a 40km wide region in Mauritania Quite colorful the Sahara North of Agadir. I hope we will also get some civilian liveries for the C160 Long final runway 35R Looking good Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
May 6, 20233 yr Very interesting and nice shots Bernd. How did you come to get to fly on this plane? Jack Sawyer
May 6, 20233 yr Outstanding shots, and well off the beaten track. And I've got the same question as Jack. 🙂
May 6, 20233 yr Author Thank you Jack and John. My mistake, I should have mentioned that I served once for a couple of years as officer in the Luftwaffe, where I was in charge of a small airport near Munich. A friend of mine, with whom I was trained at the officers academy, was in charge of a neighboring air base that was home to a Transall squadron. That gave me the opportunity to a couple of very interesting flights 😉 I also had the jet passenger card. It was not needed for the Transall, but for my two flights in the two-seater TF-104G, but that is for another story 😀😀. Things like that would not be allowed today anymore, so I guess I was lucky.
