The California Aviation Classification Repair Depot (AVCRAD) used this C-7A Caribou as a transport aircraft to get the necessary spare parts for Army helicopter to the depot. It was seen in full back light at the Army depot at Fresno, but modern technology made (photoshop) it possible to make a quite okay digital picture out of it. The Caribou was sold to Costa Rica as MSP002 in the early ninetees. It was also reported as TI-MSB at San Jose in April 1993. By late 2014 the C-7A was withdrawn from use and seen at Liberia airport in Costa Rica. This photo is copyright © Stephan de Bruijn, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
