Just wondering if US or Canada are still using Caribous for any
purpose.
Cheers

Known as the C-7 in the USAF (after they were taken over from the Army in
the late sixties), they have been out of service for a long time (early
eighties final retirement, IIRC). Very few served with the RCAF--they
instead bought more of the later turbine powered DHC-5 Buffalo. From what I
have read their Caribous left service in the early seventies, but I believe
they may still have a few Buffalos flying SAR.
