This photograph depicts a Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer military aircraft (msn 22-5140, call sign KA-B) of the French Army (Armee dTerre) at Dakar, Senegal, in 1965. The Tri-Pacer, a versatile and popular light aircraft manufactured by Piper Aircraft Corporation, was widely used by various military forces around the world due to its reliability and adaptability. In this image, the Tri-Pacer is seen parked on the tarmac of Dakar's airport, with its distinctive orange and green camouflage paint scheme and military markings clearly visible. The aircraft's wings are folded, suggesting that it has recently landed or is about to take off on a mission. The background shows other aircraft and military vehicles, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the airport. The French Army's use of the Tri-Pacer in Senegal during the 1960s is a testament to the aircraft's versatility and utility in military operations. The Tri-Pacer was often used for transport, reconnaissance, and liaison roles, making it an essential asset for military forces operating in remote or hard-to-reach areas. Its ability to take off and land on short runways and unimproved surfaces made it particularly suitable for use in Africa and other parts of the world where infrastructure was limited. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the French Army's aviation capabilities during the mid-20th century and the role that the Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer played in military aviation history.
