Photo Comment

This is former USAF 61-2390. The aircraft was delivered to the Ejercito del Aire (Spanish Air Force) on 29 September 1982 and stricken from service (after replacement by the CASA 212) on 13 March 1985. The Caribou was cannibalized on Cuatro Vientos (as seen on this picture) and eventually scrapped. Some sections of the aircraft can be found near Jerez (Spain) where it is used in a disco attraction.
