EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Transall C-160A 61-ZG, a versatile transport aircraft operated by the Armee de l'Air, the French Air Force, during the 1970s. The Transall, an acronym for Transport ALLianz, was a groundbreaking collaboration between France, Germany, and Spain, designed to create a multi-role, medium-lift military transport aircraft. The 61-ZG, with manufacturing serial number F89, is depicted here in its distinctive camouflage livery during its tenure with FT61, a French Air Force transport squadron. The Transall C-160A was a twin-engine turboprop aircraft, capable of carrying up to 92 troops or 24 stretcher patients, along with their accompanying medical personnel. In this image, the 61-ZG is seen at the Royal Air Force (RAF) Greenham Common Air Base in the United Kingdom, where it likely participated in various international military exercises and cooperative training initiatives. The Transall C-160A was a common sight at such events, reflecting the aircraft's role as a vital component of the international military transportation network. The Transall C-160A, with its impressive payload capacity, short takeoff and landing capabilities, and versatility, served the military transportation needs of several nations for decades. This photograph is a testament to the aircraft's enduring legacy and the international cooperation that made it possible.
