The current Jeep Wrangler "The Gear You Need" ad shows a Jeep loading into an aircraft.

Anyone know which aircraft?

[101RRS]

Looks like a DHC-4T Turbo Caribou

[JDNSW]

Yes.

x3 no question at all, Caribou from any angle

[Lotz-A-Landies]

Was what I was thinking, but is it Aussie or who currently operates them?

I thought the RAAF ones were mothballed?

[mudmouse]

Two went to HARS (Albion Park), two(?) went to some joint in QLD running freight to PNG, and others scattered about the place. Maybe even some still at Oakey??

....so, where's my one?

There'd be enough in the US to be in an Ad. Ford used a C-123 Provider in a pick-up commercial a few years back...

as far as I knew our Millitary didn't have Turbo Caribou, they were all Pratt & Whitney radials

Aussie Caribous accounted for here
ADF Serials - RAAF A4 De Havilland DHC-4 Caribou

Caribou Cargo - Radial Aircarft


Hmm, who was looking to transport their 110 from Melb to FNQ in a hurry ???

That aircraft is a Turbo Caribou - we never operated these in the military - as far as I know we only had the early radial piston engine version.

Don't know how you can tell it is the Turbo version, but even that was Pratt & Whitney Canada Powered - PT6A-67R. Judging by the amount of smoke I would guess it was still the Twin Wasp R2000?

[101RRS]

Don't know how you can tell it is the Turbo version,

At 54s you can see that the engines are Turbo Props and not radials.
