More than 40 years after its maiden flight the C-160 Transall still enjoys an excellent reputation with the crews as a safe and reliable transport. It is often present in the media due to its international use in disaster areas and flights for aid organisations such as the UNHCR. Many air transport squadron anniversaries over time have given the Transall interesting special liveries that have enjoyed great popularity. The Transall maiden flight on 25 March 1963 was followed by two other prototypes produced in Germany and 6 pilot series before production could begin in 1966. The first of the 160 machines ordered were delivered in May 1967, that is 110 of the Transall C-160D were produced for the German air force and 50 of the Transall C-160F were produced for France. Series production ended in Germany in 26th October 1972. However renewed interest in France made it necessary to resume production. Thus between 1978 and 1985 a further 33 of the Transall were built for a variety of duties. The crew consists of 2 pilots, a navigator and a flight engineer. It can also carry up to 93 soldiers or 81 paratroopers. For air ambulance duties it can carry stretchers for 62 wounded and 4 seats for medical personnel. It has a maximum speed of 536 km/h, a maximum take-off weight of 49.1 tonnes and a maximum range of 4,560 km.
