EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland Canada YC-7A Caribou 57-3080, proudly on display at the Army Aviation Museum located in Ft. Rucker, Alabama. The YC-7A Caribou, serial number msn 4 and formerly known as CF-LKU-X and pre-1962 YAC-1, is a remarkable aircraft with a rich history in military aviation. The de Havilland Canada Caribou is a versatile short takeoff and landing (STOL) transport aircraft, originally designed and manufactured by de Havilland Canada between 1958 and 1961. This specific aircraft, 57-3080, served in the Canadian military before being transferred to the United States Army in the late 1960s. The Caribou's distinctive design, featuring its high-mounted wings and large, pneumatic tires, allowed it to operate effectively in various environments, including rough terrain and short runways. Its versatility made it an invaluable asset for military operations, particularly in the transport of troops, cargo, and medical supplies. The YC-7A Caribou 57-3080's retirement from active service and subsequent addition to the Army Aviation Museum's collection is a testament to its enduring significance in military aviation history. Today, it stands as a reminder of the aircraft's impressive capabilities and the vital role it played in military transportation. This photograph, taken circa 2000, captures the essence of the YC-7A Caribou 57-3080's legacy and its place among the esteemed collection of aircraft at the Army Aviation Museum in Ft. Rucker, Alabama.
