Last flying Transall scrapes the rooftops in emergency approach before crash landing (Turkey- 25 /1/24)

It might be the last flight of a military one but they are coming onto the civil scene.  Wieland aviation in Australia have 3 ex German ones.

My pleasure!

Might be a few more Transall flights yet,  then! Thanks for passing that on,  Zac.

I think that one has, but it turns out the Turks have two others:

“Correction and Update: Turkish Air Force has two other C-160Ds upgraded in Gören-1 standard in use as ISR platforms of the MIT (Turkish Intelligence). One of them is 68-023 which is currently grounded and 69-040 is the other which is airworthy. Now, THK has two options: 1-Retiring 69-040 as there is No reserve for it due to withdrawal of 69-036 from service. 2-Complete overhaul and restoration of 68-023 to use as replacement for 69-036 which is now out of service.”

Agreed. I think the poor Transall has had it,  though. 

Glad everyone walked out.

Blimey , squeaky bum time for everyone

Holy flip,  I’m glad I wasn’t on laundry detail there, that looks very hairy indeed! I’m assuming there was something else awry to cause an approach like that?  Sadly,  that sounds like the last Transall landing ever…
