EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short C-23A Sherpa 84-0459 of the United States Air Force, specifically from the 10th Military Airlift Squadron, 608th Military Airlift Group. Circa 1990, this aircraft, with the Manufacturer Series Number (MSN) SH.3104, is seen in its military glory. The Short C-23A Sherpa is a versatile, twin-engine transport aircraft, primarily used for short-range, tactical airlift missions. Its compact size and high maneuverability make it an ideal choice for operating in challenging environments. The United States Air Force acquired the Short C-23A Sherpa as a replacement for the venerable C-12 Huron, and it served the Air Force and other military branches with distinction until its retirement in 2014. The 10th Military Airlift Squadron, part of the 608th Military Airlift Group, was one of the many units that flew this agile and reliable aircraft. In this image, the Short C-23A Sherpa 84-0459 is captured on the tarmac, ready for its next mission. The aircraft's distinctive short body and high wings are clearly visible, along with the military markings and insignia that denote its status as a United States Air Force asset. The image not only showcases the aircraft's impressive design but also transports us back in time to an era of military aviation and aeronautical engineering excellence. This photograph is part of The Tony Lovelock Collection, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, and offers a unique glimpse into the history of military transport aircraft and the United States Air Force.
