End of the horizon for our Caribou
The iconic DHC-4 Caribou will take a hard earned retirement from the Air Force this December, following 45 years of service to Australia.
The aircraft, operated by No. 38 Squadron at RAAF Base Townsville, has a busy schedule of activity before retirement, including appearances at Defence Air Displays in Townsville (September 26) and Wagga (October 18), and training exercises in Papua New Guinea.
Former members of the RAAF Caribou community are invited to a reunion in Townsville on November 7. For details, contact 38SQN.45Yrs@defence.gov.au.
