Technically, the title of this video should read "Farewell, Transall C-160!", because Transall is the name of the manufacturing consortium behind the C-160 and stands for "TRANSporter ALLianz". This conglomerate of French and German companies designed the aircraft in the 1960s but didn't go on creating any other planes, so the name became a synonym for the C-160, making it the C-160 Transall to most people.
Although continuously updated, the C-160 cannot meet all the requirements of a 21st century army, so in Germany as well as in other countries and despite all its teething problems, the Airbus A400M "Atlas" is going to succeed the Transall. That's why, after more than 50 years in service(!), the Transall-era in the Bundeswehr, the German army, is going to end by the end this year (2021) and that in turn is why I'm publishing this video. See the good old Transall play a key part in a military exercise, presented by the Bundeswehr at the ILA Berlin Air Show in 2018!
