I Was Fascinated By The Bulky, Angular Construction Of The Caribou. It Looks As If It Might Not Work. However, I Spent A Day Traveling On A Caribou, Observing The Dropping Of Supplies At Special Forces Camps. We Landed On Especially Short Landing Fields, One Being A Sort Of Mud Flat Covered By Canvas Strips, And Quickly Left Supplies, Then Hurried Off. I Concluded That It Is A Remarkably Capable Airplane.
