April 30, 2020

In 2012, a decommissioned Transall of the Bundeswehr landed at the Ballenstedt airfield under spectacular circumstances. The transport plane, powered by two propellers, has been on the edge of the airfield site in the immediate vicinity of the country road towards Badeborn. This aircraft, which is actually completely oversized for the small regional airfield, inevitably draws the attention of those passing by. Even for those unfamiliar with the area, the Ballenstedt airfield cannot be missed if you drive on the country road between Ballenstedt and Badeborn.

The original plan was to transfer the used Transall C-160 to the site of the Museum of Aviation and Technology in Wernigerode. In recent years, visits to the legendary Transall have been offered at the airfield in Asmusstedt on selected days.
