The Max Holste Broussard was a utility aircraft produced for the French Army similar to the Canada DHC-2 Beaver. Utilizing the same Pratt & Whitney Wasp Junior engine, 363 examples built served witht the French Army, Air Force and Navy as well as several civilian operators. Former French colonies also received surplus Broussards until the type was retired by the AIr Force (1986), Army (1993) and Navy (1996). This aircraft was with the Senegal Air Force (Armée de l'Air Sénégalaise) after 1961. Later recovered from Dakar, it arrived in the USA in 1988 as NX246MH.
