Upon the announcement of their retirement from service, there were many Caribou flights over our home which demonstrated the handling abilities of these aircraft.
One can only speculate the enjoyment of the flight crew operating these “retirement flights” exploring the athletic abilities of the aircraft.
Very sad to see them retired.
