DeHavilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou

Illawarra Regional Airport, Albion Park Rail, NSW, Australia view map

Airshow of vintage warbirds and current RAAF assets by HARS.
I flew in the back of this aircraft in the late 1960s as an Air Cadet. The pilot was a trainee who had to land within the piano keys at the approach end of the runway. Full power reverse pitch whilst 20' above the runway. Those landing struts take one hell of a beating. Exciting stuff for a young lad

That must have been quite the adventure! This company also makes the Beaver which we Canadians are very familiar with as it is the workhorse for bush pilots. v
