Photo Comment

This 1958 DHC-4 was once assigned to the fleet of Nordair (CF-LAN), was sold to Imperial Oil (CF-LAN) before it became N6080 in Jun'71. That registration was carried with Internountain Aviation up to early 1975. The Caribou flew from Feb'75 with Air America and started to operate with this Environmental Research Institute of Michigan from June 1976. The Caribou was pictured at a small airshow at Willow Run in '89. It stayed here with HAT Aviation from August 1998 and was stored. It is currently preserved at in full US Army colours with fake serial '24171' at the Yankee Air Museum at Willow Run.
