de Havilland C-7A Caribou

This plane is based on the one here, i just left off that ugly nose. If you want the ugly nosed version, get it here

The C-7 was used to move people and materiel into forward areas, where short, unprepared strips were the norm. They were almost always operated under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or “Special VFR,” but were fully equipped instrument aircraft. Typical cargoes were fuel (gasoline, diesel fuel, and JP-4), munitions (small arms ammunition, 2.75 inch aircraft rockets, 105mm, 155mm, 175mm, and 8-inch howitzer projectiles), food (widely varying from American steak and chicken, to live pigs, chickens, ducks, and eels for the Army of the Republic of Vietnam troops), passengers (U.S. military, Republic of Vietnam military and civilians, and even North Vietnamese Army POWs), and sadly, bodies. Most of the destination airstrips of the C-7 in the 1971 time period were along the borders of Laos and Cambodia with South Vietnam and were firebases or Special Forces outposts (U.S., ARVN, and Montagnard). The Caribou was a workhorse that went from sunrise to sunset every day operating in the heat, humidity, dust, and mud from the low-lying Vietnamese Mekong Delta to the towering mountain regions of the Central Highlands.
The C-7 could accommodate up to 32 passengers, 26 fully equipped paratroops, 20 litter patients, or an 8,740 pound cargo load.

Pilots Notes
This plane loves low speed flying, just remember that when you stall near the ground you will sink very fast, like, really fast. When turning, use a lot of rudder, helps turn faster and look nicer. This is a STOL cargo/transport so land it anywhere!
