Forum rules
 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Do you have a time for that crossing C-160?! If it was around 1400-1445lt it was 50+61 from LTG61. Maybe you could brighten it up a bit to verify whether it is a German one or not

This was at 1219LT. No markings to be seen except the white markings below the wing, behind the nose and on the tail.
Re: [MIL] Nörvenich ETNN 16-07-2014
This is a Luftwaffe Transall with UN-markings (probably for the MALI ops). Perhaps 50+56 or 50+36 from Wunstorf?

Thanks all.
I can't quite determine if these are UN markings but it is a plausible idea.herbie wrote:This is a Luftwaffe Transall with UN-markings (probably for the MALI ops).
Re: [MIL] Nörvenich ETNN 16-07-2014
As far as I know only C-160D ESS (with ECM equippment) are being used in AFG and MALI. And the TRALL on your photo is one of those!

Looks like it was indeed 50+61.
