C160 Transall - de 1967 à nos jours

Although its retirement was once expected as early as 2005, the C-160 Transall remains a key aircraft of French military transport. More than forty years after entering service, this tactical twin-engine aircraft is still deployed on all operational fronts and in many humanitarian missions worldwide.

Thanks to the skill of its crews, the Transall continues to perform well on difficult runways and in harsh environments. Yet age brings limits: the risks and constraints of an aging aircraft are increasingly evident, despite its proven strengths. Its long-term future remains uncertain.
