57-3080 Support Aircraft for
the Silver Eagles
United States Army Aviation Precision Demonstration Team
|
In 1976 Caribou (YC-7A) 57-3080 (c/n # 4) was assigned to the Silver Eagles as a support aircraft to replace two UH-1 from the school fleet. The Caribou was used to transport aircraft parts and the support team to and from show site. The Aviation School provided crew for the Caribou. At most show sites, the aircraft was put on static display and the crew greeted spectators and answered their questions about the aircraft. For its support role, the aircraft was given a unique blue and white paint job. The aircraft has now been painted olive-drab and is parked in front of the Army Aviation Museum in Fort Rucker. |
