Also I know a guy who saw a USG Buffalo (not a 'Bou) at Fort A.P. Hill
within the last five years being used for some sort of drop testing.

Up unitil about a year ago I lived within spitting distance of the A.P. Hill
DZ, before moving to the western side of Spotsylvania County. Saw lots of
C-130's doing drop work there, a few C-141's and C-17's, and a couple of
oddities (what looked like a CASA 212 and a Twin Otter); never personally
saw a Buffalo. Doesn't mean there wasn't one in the A/O--sometimes the more
shadowy types train on the base, not to mention the resident SEAL training
detachment.


Those special ops units have access to all kinds of interesting aircraft.
