2 Turkish Transalls still flying, and now probably just one

Re: Turkish C160 Transall incident
A very lucky escape for the city of Kayseri. A video on Twitter show the Transall flying very low just before the emergency landing.

now shows that
the damage is rather substantial.
is probably a write-off.Registration: 69-036
MSN: D36
Only new-ish transporters would have been repaired with all this damage.
And indeed, the video thru the link above
shows that Kayseri could have been hit by a very serious accident today...

Re: Turkish C160 Transall incident
Since the wing looks very broken, I'd say the above statement is a so called understatement...........Stratofreighter wrote: ↑25 Jan 2024, 13:27f4phantom wrote: ↑25 Jan 2024, 11:39 https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/351154

Re: Turkish C160 Transall incident
The aircraft obviously landed without undercarriage and with no flaps. It looks like the engines had not enough power or it had serious hydraulic issues. The latter is not very likely, because the Transall has three different hydraulic systems, a green, a red and a black (hand pump) one.
