EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness an aerial refueling operation involving two Transall C-160R aircraft from the French Air Force (Armee de l'Air). The image features ET.64's Transall C-160R 64-GQ (msn R217), with its distinctive blue and white markings, skillfully chasing the refueling drogue of another C-160 tanker. The Transall C-160R, a versatile transport aircraft developed by Dassault-Breguet and Aérospatiale, is part of the TRANSport ALLianz family. This particular aircraft, 64-GQ, is from the 64th squadron (ET.64). The refueling tanker in the background is also a C-160R, which plays a crucial role in extending the operational range and endurance of military aircraft. This photograph is believed to have been taken around the year 2000. The Transall C-160R has been in service with the French Air Force since the late 1960s and has seen extensive use in various missions, including transport, refueling, and special operations. The scene evokes a sense of precision and teamwork, as both pilots expertly maneuver their aircraft to make a seamless connection for the transfer of fuel. The photograph also showcases the impressive capabilities of the Transall C-160R and the French Air Force's commitment to maintaining its advanced aeronautical fleet. Additional context: This photograph may have been taken during an airshow or training exercise. The Embraer EMB 121 Xingu 83, a Brazilian-built turboprop transport aircraft, is also present in the background, with the registration number 11, Flotille (Squadron) RAF Finningley visible on its fuselage. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Avro Vulcan B.2, a British bomber, can also be seen in the distance. The photograph was likely taken on September 22, 1990, at an aeronautical event in Britain.
