Manufacturer: DEHAVILLAND
The de Havilland Canada DHC‑4 Caribou is a rugged Canadian cargo aircraft designed for short‑takeoff and landing (STOL). First flown in 1958, it was built for the U.S. Army and later the U.S. Air Force, and saw service in Vietnam and other conflicts. Its twin‑engine, high‑wing layout and rear loading ramp made it ideal for austere airfields.
