DHC-4 Caribou

These things were capable of the most amazing short landings - they'd start their descent from about 500 feet at the piano keys (end of the run way), do a really steep, slow dive, touch down on the runway about half way along and stop within about 100m. It was really quite incredible (especially when they put the nose about 30 or 40 degrees down over the runway for final descent). Crazy stuff!
