Caribou refueling158 viewsRedbull Air Race 2006
This DeHavilland Caribou came over for the air race, and took a couple of our parking spots.
It demonstrated its amazing STOL ability, and flew some very nice manouevres.
The aircraft was almost twice as old as the pilot.

These were a couple of the aircraft on static display.
I'm sure one of these aircraft was one of the gadgets in a James Bond film (possibly The Spy Who Loved me?), although it was jet powered in the film.
