This folder contains a repaint for the de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou from MSFS. It shows DHC-4 N6080 of the ERIM (Environmental Reasearch Insitite of Michigan). Built in 1958, with c/n 2, N6080 was the 2nd prototype of the Caribou, first flying as CF-LAX-X before becoming CF-LAN in 1961 and being used as a demo aircraft by de Havilland. In 1971 it became N6080 with Intermountain Air Services, who used it for dropping smoke jumpers. It flew with Air America in 1975 and 1976, and went to ERIM in 1977 who used it until 1998. It was then painted green and numbered Army 62-4171 with the Yankee Air Museum in Ypsilanti, Mi. It's now owned by the Legacy Flight Museum in Rexburg, Idaho. It remains in airworthy condition.

I flew on this very same plane as a Region 1 hotshot in 1973. It's now owned by the Legacy Flight Museum in Rexburg, Idaho. It remains in airworthy condition thanks to them. I think it flew for Air America prior to 1973. We were done in Nam by '73. Would also love to see in the Intermountain livery. Thank you!

Hey Jankees, if it's not too much to ask, would you do the 71' Intermountain Air Service smoke jumpers version? I know they look very similar, with just a logo and name change. I have a soft spot for smoke jumpers. I was a contracted USFS fire fighter and trained under the guidance of one of the best retired jumpers I ever met. He went by the handle "Mop Master" Mike.
