EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Armee de l'Air Transall C-160R 61-ZU, also known as R155 (msn 155) of ET 061, in its prime during the mid-1990s. The Transall, an acronym for Transport ALLianz, is a versatile military transport aircraft operated by the French Air Force. The C-160R variant, specifically, is an upgraded version of the original C-160G, featuring enhanced capabilities for cargo and passenger transport, as well as aerial refueling. The aircraft in this image, 61-ZU, was manufactured in 1991 and is adorned with the distinctive markings of ET 061. The Transall's distinctive silhouette is further accentuated by the presence of its auxiliary wings, which fold up when not in use, expanding the aircraft's cargo capacity. The Transall C-160R fleet was equipped with various modifications, such as the F216 and F219 engines, which boosted the aircraft's performance and efficiency. With a maximum takeoff weight of 64 tons and a range of over 4,000 kilometers, the C-160R was a formidable asset for the Armee de l'Air, capable of transporting troops, equipment, and supplies to remote locations with ease. This photograph captures the Transall C-160R 61-ZU in its element, showcasing the aircraft's impressive size, power, and versatility. The image is a testament to the Armee de l'Air's commitment to maintaining a modern and capable fleet, ensuring the French Air Force remains a leading force in military aviation.
