Transall C-160 - Aircraft starting after 10 years out of active service.

So now what? They have to fill it back up with oil so it last another 10 years?

[@berticusmaximus8381]

This is how you preserve an aircraft for long term storage. Bravo.

[@citationxpilot]

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 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.

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...

[@jfirebaugh]

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".

[@docvolt5214]

Oh yeah the Italians used them very effectively in ww2, flottiglia MAS

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

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.

[@prieten49]

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.

Yes they might be mistaken for the C-130's at Ft. Bragg. Very similar but with 4 engines and larger.

[@peterjannitto6520]

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.

Well from what I could see of it for all of the smoke 💨 I must say not bad after 10 years in fact very good. 👍

[@ProGamer-fd2fq]

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

[@bearbon2]

Those engines were well pickled. Good storage prep.

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

[@PilotUlli]

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. 👍
