Backgroundstory
Since the start of the ISAF operation Germany supported continously
the air transport missions in the theatre with four to eight C-160
Transall from his three transport wings.
With those Transall protected air transport of personnel and material
was conducted and the transport of wounded within the theatre was
ensured.
In the beginning the airplanes were stationed in Termez, Uzbekistan
and from August 2008 on they were transferred to Mazar-e-Sharif in
Afghanistan.
Since the October 1 2008 the strategic air transport to and from
Afghanistan was conducted directly to Masar-e-Sharif airport. Within
Afghanistan the air transport is centralized organized with a pool of
airplanes of the international partners.The transfer back of the
last remaining four Transall of Combat Wing Masar-e-Sharif took place
in two steps. On November 3 and 4 2014 the first two were flown back to
Transport Wing 61 from Penzing. A short time later in a second step the
two remaining airplanes to Transport Wing 62 in Hohn.

Backgroundstory
Transport Wing 61 is based at airbase Penzing which is close to
Landsberg in Southern Bavaria. The base was build during the "Third
Reich" 1937, hosted the station the Kampfgeschwader 153 "Merseburg"
flying the DO-23. Starting 1939 the Kampfgeschwader 51 "Edelweiss" with
He-111 took over.
After the war the Americans renewed, extended and used the station
and handed it 1957 over to the Bundeswehr, the new german army.
After the handover to the new Luftwaffe Penzing airfield was first
used by the "Flugzeugführerschule A" for flying training on the french
Fouga Magister and the North American T-6. After moving the training to
Fürsty and the United States,Helicopter Transport Wing 64 with its Bell
UH-1D "Huey" took over Penzing airfield. In 1971 Transport Wing 61 moved
from Neubiberg near Munich to Penzing and were since then the main user
with one squadron equipped with C-160 "Transall" and one squadron
UH-1D. 2012 the "Hueys" were given to the german army aviation and the
squadron disbanded. Only a couple of helicopters remained for SAR along
the autobahn and in the Alps.
With introduction of the new A400-M transporter and retirement
of the Transalls the end of the airfield has came.

Backgroundstory
The Transall (mix of 'transport' and 'alliance') C-160D/F is a
german-french transport aircraft project from the 1960s. On January 28,
1959, four companies of the later "Transporter Alliance", Weserflug,
Hamburger Flugzeugbau HFB, Engineering Blume and Nord-Aviation from
Paris, signed a basic contract about a developement partnership. A month
later the german-franco work alliance was founded. The work was devided
this way:
Nord-Aviation: wings and engine nacelles VFW: main fuselage, vertical elevator HFB: fuselage front an rear, parts of the tailplane
Overall 169 planes were built. 50 went to the armee de l'air, 110 to
the german Luftwaffe and 9 to Southafrica. 1976 a second lot for 25
planes was projected, the Transall NG (New Generation). All planes went
to France. Additionally 4 planes for special operations were built and 4
planes for Indonesia. In the 1970s germany sold 20 used airplanes to
Turkey.

Backgroundstory
Transport Wing 61 was based at airbase Penzing located close to Landsberg in Southern Bavaria.
The idea for this special painting to the 60th anniversary of
Transport Wing 61 did this time not - as very often - come from an
inspired member of the wing or a tasked professional designer as e.g.
for the 50th anniversary of FBW 32, but was born one evening when
sitting together in the officers club. The basic idea behind it was the
desire for a so called retro-look, which expresses the look of the
prototypes or the first delivered birds to the user. Because a grinding
down of the black an green color to the aluminum skin of the fuselage
was not possible a two layer white-metallic paint was brought above the
old one. The whole airplane shows except the black-red-gold of the
german flag no other colors with the silver and black design. This is
even true for the bavarian colors on the rudder.The airplane's nickname
"Black Chamois" comes from the stylised chamois on the tail, which is
actually the haraldic animal of the wing (see wing patch).
On the front part of the fuselage near the front entrance door the
logo of the anniversary is introduced in black and silver on both sides.
It shows a big 60 and beneath it the (former) operational transport
aircraft types of the wing, a C-47 "Dakota", a "Nora" Noratlas and of
course a C-160D "Transall". Underneath the airplanes is the transport
helicopter Bell UH-1D "Huey" shown which was flown many years at
Transport Wing 61.
Transall's 51+01 long history started with short ops times at TW-63
in Hohn before it served more than 35 years at TW-62 in Wunstorf. A
periodic inspection brought it in 2016 to Bavaria, to the Maintennance
Center 11 (InstZ 11) in Erding. Since TW-62 transfers completely to the
new Airbus A-400M the airplane was given to TW-61 for the rest of its
days which will end in around 2018. In 2017, the anniversary year of
TW-61 it had reached more than 14.000 flying hours an more than 15.000
landings.
