Hmm. Santa's reindeer have gone but there's still a herd of Caribou...

I wonder if I flew any of these?

Theres a few more in camo just west of the others. Anyone know if these are still used?

Pen Turbo, Inc., on the field at Cape May, has stockpiled these Caribou for possible conversion to turbo power. They are marketing the turbo conversion and says there is a demand for it, although it's unknown how strong. They still have a lot of unconverted airframes.

Okay, enough for Cape May's Caribous(?) Has any one checked further North up at Lakehurst Naval Air Station. I believe those are rocket sled tracks to the West of center of the field. Look's like they still have blimp
or dirigible hangers being maintained on the East side. I wonder on which dirigible pad the Hindenburg crashed & burned?

Sounds like the'll have lots of radials and props available. What type were run on Caribou?

R-2000 and the prop has its own oil supply for feathering
