I had several flights in C-130's when I served in Vietnam a half-century ago. Seems to me that this Transall C-160 could still provide valuable service where you need to fly into smaller fields. A pity it's out of service. -- Cheers from a retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer.
I hitched many rides back in 2011 with the good Luftwaffe folks flying C-160s out of Marmal. They always got me where I needed to go. If you're reading this and were assigned to a C-160 squadron at that time, you have my heartfelt thanks.
Still got the usual C.160 Engine sweet sound when throttling up, Brilliant Engineering Preservation by the German AF Prior to Storage, Speyer Museum is superb to Visit went there back in 2015.
Ach welch schöner Lasten Vogel die C-160 Transall. Ich bin selber vor 42 Jahren ein paar Jahre auf einem Fliegerhorst gewesen und hatte das Glück mehrfach, auch lange Strecken mit diesem Flugzeug mit zu fliegen. Sehr sicher und zuverlässig. Toller Sound...
The Speyer technik museum is very interesting. I went there a couple of times. They have a beautiful, fully restored WW2 Messerschmidt fighter that looks like new off the factory floor ready to fly. Lots of other interesting Planes, Trains, Boats and Automobiles. They even have several examples of MANNED TORPEDOS! Can you imagine a manned torpedo? "Get in this thing and drive it into that boat, everything will be fine.... Trust me".
If I'm not mistaken, the Germans actually tried (or did) make a manned torpedo that didn't require a crewmember to make the ultimate sacrifice. The Japanese? Pretty sure they were training kids to run theirs. For what it's worth, the Japanese had amazing success with them. The Germans had major accuracy issues with the bailout versions IIRC.
I remember having a large toy model of this plane. The rear cargo door would flap down and there were, I think, four little parachutists in spring loaded pods that would shoot out the back if you pressed their red buttons. The parachutes were pre-extended on a little stick that went from the little soldier to the middle of the parachute. That was definitely my favorite toy. Well, it was until I got that Mercury capsule for GI Joe!
Flew several times in the C-160, the German air force plane was flying as part of the United Nations Mission in Iraq in 1991, we flew from Bahrain to Cyprus to pick up supplies for the mission. It can land anywhere, a really rugged aircraft, cant believe they are out of service.
That sounds like an interesting career with many unforgettable experiences. It is unfortunate that this aircraft has now been retired but it seems that you have many fond memories of your experience with this aircraft. 👍
A great aircraft. I used to work on them in South Africa. Great to fly in. Nice to see it is still in one piece.nBy far my favourite museum. I have been there to visit from the UK many times.
As a Combat Decorated Vietnam veteran I flew on these dozens of times out of Da Nang and Dong Ha. Crash landed W/O injuries, so durability is super. Epic Puff the Magic Dragon!!!!
In 1987 I flew in one from the South African Airforce. We transported a G5 howitzer from Rundu to Mavinga during the Angolan Bush War. Scary experience.
Buddy, the war was for all accounts, over in 1987. South Africa even cut the compulsory service down in the following few years because nothing was happening at the border. I was there, 32 battalion, Ratel 90 armored support. Not sure what was so scary....unless you had a drunk pilot.
They line the engines with oil so it doesn't rust or get damaged. So when the engines started all that oil burned and caused the smoke. SO if it was in active service the smoke wouldn't really occur
God this brings back memories of this beautiful bird on the runway at calvi in corsica ,beautiful plane to jump out of and many times we did that at 2 r.e.p and in africa
I live in North Carolina USA right next to Fort Bragg. It’s the home of the 82nd Airborne and they use planes similar for jump training. Very cool video man. Thank you for sharing.
Probably saw the C-127 Spartan. Nearly identical aircraft. They used them in Central America flying out of Howard AB and Soto Cano AB. I was TDY remote in Honduras and we would get them in to a short dirt strip regularly. Great airplane! The Air Force has since given a large number of them to the USCG. They have upgraded them with RR turboprops and 6 bladed props, much like the C-130J.
Nice seeing this! I remember living in Kalamazoo and seeing the C-130 in flight from the museum they have up there. I have an Avios C-130 myself but this C-160 looks badass! 👌
Cet avion est exceptionnel tant sa conception que son pilotage. Heureux d'avoir travaillé et voler sur cette légende aérienne. Mais en théorie il n'est pas censé fumer comme ça au démarrage 😂
Vielen Dank ... der Klang dieser Tynes ... Musik in meinen Ohren ... Ich sehe diese Transells immer noch aktiv, wenn sie im Urlaub in der Nähe des Flughafens Chania auf Kreta sind :-)
To the best of my knowledge, the starting sequence for the Transall C-160 involves the following steps: 1. Pre-Start Checks: Before starting the engines, the crew will perform pre-start checks to ensure that all necessary systems are in the correct configuration. This includes checking fuel levels, oil levels, and verifying that switches and controls are in the appropriate positions. 2. Engine Start: The starting sequence for the Transall C-160 typically involves using an external power unit, such as an auxiliary power unit (APU), to provide initial power. Once the APU is running and providing electrical and pneumatic power, the engine start sequence can proceed. a. The crew will activate the start sequence for the first engine, usually referred to as the "Number 1" engine. This involves engaging the starter, which initiates the rotation of the engine's turbine. b. Fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber, and the ignition system ignites the fuel-air mixture, initiating the combustion process. c. As the engine starts running, the crew monitors engine parameters and ensures that it stabilizes within specified limits. They may also perform engine checks, such as checking for proper oil pressure and temperature. 3. Propeller Engagement: Once the first engine is started and stabilized, the crew can proceed to engage the propeller. This involves activating the propeller control mechanism, which allows the propeller blades to change pitch and generate thrust. The propeller is typically engaged after the engine has warmed up and is running smoothly. 4. Repeat for Additional Engines: The process is then repeated for the remaining engines of the Transall C-160, following the same sequence of pre-start checks, engine start, and propeller engagement. It's important to note that the specific procedures and details may vary depending on the aircraft's configuration, operator preferences, and the specific version of the Transall C-160. The exact instructions should be provided in the aircraft's flight manual or the operator's standard operating procedures. If you require more detailed or specific information, it is recommended to consult the official documentation or seek guidance from qualified personnel familiar with the Transall C-160.
As an Aerial Combat Photographer in the US Air Force 1965/69... I was lucky enough to fly in a few planes like this one... but the ones I flew on were the C-123... I loved them.... but my favorites (after the B-52 and the KC-135 refuelers) were the C-119 Flying Boxcars...they always gave us a parachute when we flew on them ! lolol
Sounds like you've had an exciting time as a US Air Force combat photographer. The fact that you received a parachute while flying the C-119 Flying Boxcar shows the importance of emergency preparedness. Airmen and aerial combat photographers must be prepared for dangerous situations and work safely to complete their mission. 👍

And I thought Lockheed Constellations were smokey when starting.
To prevent the engines from corroding they are completely covered with oil. That’s why there’s more smoke then any plane at start up.
I like how they put it into reverse a few times and the props change direction.

What’s the sequence for starting the engine? Does the engine itself warm up and start, THEN they engage the prop?
To the best of my knowledge, the starting sequence for the Transall C-160 involves the following steps:
1. Pre-Start Checks: Before starting the engines, the crew will perform pre-start checks to ensure that all necessary systems are in the correct configuration. This includes checking fuel levels, oil levels, and verifying that switches and controls are in the appropriate positions.
2. Engine Start: The starting sequence for the Transall C-160 typically involves using an external power unit, such as an auxiliary power unit (APU), to provide initial power. Once the APU is running and providing electrical and pneumatic power, the engine start sequence can proceed.

3. Propeller Engagement: Once the first engine is started and stabilized, the crew can proceed to engage the propeller. This involves activating the propeller control mechanism, which allows the propeller blades to change pitch and generate thrust. The propeller is typically engaged after the engine has warmed up and is running smoothly.
4. Repeat for Additional Engines: The process is then repeated for the remaining engines of the Transall C-160, following the same sequence of pre-start checks, engine start, and propeller engagement.
It's important to note that the specific procedures and details may vary depending on the aircraft's configuration, operator preferences, and the specific version of the Transall C-160.

1:15, I hope they filed an IFR flight plan. It's looking quite cloudy.

Seems odd the leaves are blowing forward from the aircraft initially - Do the props have a bit of reverse pitch on start up?
at start are the propeller blades at zero pitch
