11 November 1981, Le Bourget Air and Space Museum, Paris: A rare photograph capturing the historic CASA 2.111D B-R-21-129 (msn 156) on display at the Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace. This Spanish-built transport aircraft, formerly part of the Ejercito del Aire (Spanish Air Force) inventory, is seen in its post-military career at the prestigious aviation museum. The CASA 2.111D, a variant of the CASA C-212 Aviocar, was a versatile twin-engine turboprop transport aircraft, capable of carrying up to 18 passengers or 3,000 kg of cargo. Its distinctive design, featuring a T-tail and high-mounted wings, made it an iconic figure in the skies. Manufactured by Construcciones Aeronáuticas Sociedad Anónima (CASA), this particular aircraft, msn 156, served the Spanish Air Force from 1967 to 1981. After its military service, it was retired and eventually found a new home at the Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace, where it remains a cherished exhibit, showcasing the rich history of aviation and transport. This photograph, taken on 11 November 1981, offers a glimpse into the past, highlighting the CASA 2.111D's unique place in aviation history. The image underscores the importance of preserving these historic aircraft, allowing future generations to appreciate their significance in the development of aeronautical transportation. The CASA 2.111D B-R-21-129 (msn 156) stands proudly at the Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace, a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of its creators, and a reminder of the enduring allure of flight.
