That’s all the oil that was inside the engine to preserve it to keep it from corrosion: they cover them fully in oil and it ends up being burnt off at first start.
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.
Jet turbine engines a credit to the flight mechanics that kept it in this condition look at the oil burning off from the start up that preserved this old bird nice indeed
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!
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.
There are hundreds of thousands of craft rdy to be reairborn that sit idle in grave yards. Same for water vessels. We should reuse and refit them all to serve one purpose or another.
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 :-)
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
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.
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.
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.

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
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. 👍
Oh my god - so much CO2! ;-) Jokes appart. Isn't it wonderful to see bringing a legacy back to life. God job and thank you for your service to my former mates of the LTG61!!!
Gute alte Technik. Steht da 10 Jahre rum und startet einfach so wieder. Jede Wette, dass ein A400M nicht mehr starten würde, wenn man den nicht spätestens alle 6 Monate mal laufen lässt.
youd think that after so many years theyd start the thing INTO the wind... but by seeing how they were playing with the brakes im not surprised they didnt...
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...
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! 👌
Unfortunately it is not planned to restore it to an airworthy condition yet, just to preserve it for museum visitors. They only keep it in order enough that it can be started once a year.
@@PilotUlli: Ohh - what a shame from that museum ... let the planes ✈️ sitting outside in every weather conditions for rotting away and only start the engines one time in the year? Crazy. This is not a museum ... this is a nightmare. But thanks to you for your informations 😊
The plane was saved from scrapping! Almost every aviation museum has airplanes outside and exposes them to all weather conditions. This one is cleaned regularly. It is better to start the engines and keep them alive once a year than never again, as it is the case with most aircraft in museums around the world. So no shame, just good and better than nothing.

Why was there so much smoke? Is that how it would fly too?

Keep em Flying 👍
Greta Thunberg is one of this video's likers ........ 👍👍👍👍👍
Great little aircraft and great video too, thanks 👍👍
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 love the sound of this plane. I fly on it when i was 12 years old. Never forget it
I love the sound too! 😀👍
