The Transall C-160 is a military transport aircraft, produced as a joint venture between France and Germany.
It was initially developed to meet the requirements for a modern transport aircraft for the French and German Air Forces; export sales were also made to South Africa and to Turkey, as well as a small number to civilian operators.
The box contains three airplanes:
1 for paratroopers
the pilot open doors and let the paratroopers jump
1 for firefighters
the plane comes with water tank
pilot or crew members can drop water or foam (HD FIRE)
1 one plane for GTFO with cargo on board
working instruments for pilot

Big ol' Beastie
A very nice and detailed SL reproduction of the now around 60 year old turboprop transporter developed by France and Germany as an answer to the Lockheed C-130. So it's biiiig. It comes with German Luftwaffe paint but has included textures and the option to paint it yourself if so inclined. Scripted by Shana Carpool (imho one of the best plane scripters in SL! ) it has all one would want and then some. Functioning flaps and control surfaces: check; airbrakes:check; nav lights, landing lights, beacon : check; working cockpit instruments: check.
And then it comes with three versions in the box: 1) Troop transport with parachute drops either in sequence or singles. ( have tried with two parachutists so far and they have to click on the seat they want to sit on to get on board properly) .2) GTFO enabled which I have not tried out so can't comment on and , 3) last but not least: as a firefighting plane with a water/foam tank that indeed can put out an sl fire and is great fun splashing red stuff about ( requires the ability to rez in the region to be used).
As for flying this: it flies like a big and heavy plane of this size should, stable as anything ( I had to leave the keyboard for a moment and left it on course at 40% throttle and when I got back a few minutes later it was still flying at the same height on the same course). It's a pussycat to fly but due to the size and wider turns it may be a bit much to handle for total beginners to flying in sl( perhaps a reason for the one star review?) and with not too big a prim count it is rather good at sim crossings too, provided corners are avoided and crossings taken preferably at a 90 degree angle. That said, I have executed a few odd angle crossings and even a straight through a corner one, having had too much fun playing about with laying a foam carpet and missing the right moment to initiate a turn, but it had no discernible detrimental effect on view or handling.
A great addition to my ever expanding SL-'hangar'.
He should stick what he knows(he makes nice Submarines) I was being generous one the 1 star
i wish i could call it a plane, but that would be a stretch, it cant fly straight. god forbid if you have to make a turn cause you will turn the other directions. doesnt hold attitude. it loves to dive for no reason. you cant carry anyone on the plane with you, if they sit they are on the wings. uhhm ive tried different viewers cause i love the cargo load. Firestorm i sink on the runway and takeoff, Same with Genesis, same with Alchemy. you end up with plane that cant land or take off or make turns or fly level. so in saying that, if you buy from him stick with his boats and submarines! they are really nice!
