REQ: serial C-160 Transall with titles '1934-2009' 28-7-09

Post by perrie »

Hello,

While on holidays in France in Champcevrais (near Bleneau/St. Fargeau roughly between Orléans and Auxerre) daily Mirage 2000's and Transall's flew over. On one ocasion (28 july 2009) I decided to photograph a C-160 Transall that flew over. Just now at home, about to delete these pictures, I noticed to my big surprise trat this Transall has very large written under its wings: 1934 and 2009. I can't find any pictures of this specific aircraft on the internet.
Does anyone know which aircraft this is and what the titles are for?? :roll:

TIA,

Per

At least I know -> 1934-2009 = 75 ans armée de l'air (75 years of France Air Force)

Titels are correct as mentioned above, but they have two C-160's in these markings..... R208/64-GH and R218/64-GR.
