de Havilland DHC-4 Caribou

The de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou (known in the U.S. military as CV-2 and C-7 Caribou) is a Canadian-designed and produced specialized cargo aircraft with short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. The Caribou was first flown in 1958 and although mainly retired from military operations, is still in use in small numbers as a rugged "bush" aircraft.

This aircraft is one of the fleet of Caribou's operated by the Royal Australian Air Force between 1964 - 2009. The display took place at Classic Fighters 2009, at Omaka Aerodrome, Blenheim, New Zealand.

I wonder how often the Pratt and Whitney rules for 1" of manifold preasure for each 100 RPM on engine overun were broken by Caribou pilots during decent. The prop driving the engine... Yep the R 2000's were apparently not as good as the R 1830's mind you hanging some R 2800 CB3's of the wings would be just grand. Or lets just Hot Rod one with R 4360-59B's. Even on 100 LL AVGAS, 3200 HP (3800 on 115/145 or 3400 HP n 100/130) would liven up the Bou...
