The former French air force Noratlas No. 66 has been given a full German livery, complete with retro code on the nose. Both it and C-160D 5107 show the image of Hans Huckebein der Unglücksrabe (the bad luck raven), the main character in an 1867 comic. The bird was taken over by LTG62 as its crest from the Flugzeugführerschule 'S', when that was merged into the transport wing.
