These six Transalls performed a very well-coordinated ‘Trallet’, where the starting of engines and all taxi movements movements were carried out exactly at the same moment. All six lined up on the runway before departing right after another. After the last formation flypast followed an overhead break, very short circuit and short field landing.

The spottersday on the occasion of the flyout was wellorganised, with a nice bunch of aircraft to be seen. Most visitors were guided to taxi along the crowd line after landing, between the six Transalls and the spectators. Those who could not, or chose not to, enter the base were using the excellent spots along the fence to witness the proceedings from there.

Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate as this Thursday was filled with low clouds, rain, wind and limited visibility. This forced the organisation to alter the programme during the day, which they duly did.

Despite the forces of nature, the sights and ounds of the six C-160s moving in synchronisation and for the last time in such numbers, will be well remembered!
