The Transall was a transport aircraft of the Luftwaffe. The last of the 2-propeller aircraft flew in 2021. On special days there are events here such as open days.

The C-160 "Transall" was designed as a medium tactical transport aircraft by Germany and France and produced jointly. The aircraft was characterized by particularly good short take-off and landing characteristics and could also be used from makeshift runways. It proved particularly useful in humanitarian missions. No other aircraft was in service with the German armed forces for as long as the Transall. From 1968 onwards it replaced the Noratlas Nord 2501 as the standard transport aircraft and was then replaced by the Airbus A400M. You can see a decommissioned example of the "buzzing giant bumblebee" here on site at the old train station. The LTG 63 (air transport squadron) had the bumblebee in its coat of arms.
