EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short C-23A Sherpa 84-0461, a versatile military transport aircraft of the United States Air Force. The image, taken circa 1990, features this specific Sherpa, registered as MSN SH.3107, assigned to the 10th Military Airlift Squadron, 608th Military Airlift Group. The C-23A Sherpa was a short-range, twin-engine turboprop aircraft, primarily used for tactical airlift and cargo transport missions. The 10th Military Airlift Squadron, part of the 608th Military Airlift Group, played a crucial role in the US military's logistical operations. The Sherpa's short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities made it an ideal choice for airlifting supplies and personnel to remote locations, particularly in mountainous regions or austere environments. The C-23A Sherpa's sleek design and robust construction are evident in this photograph, with its distinctive blue and gray camouflage paint scheme adorning the fuselage. The aircraft's twin turboprop engines, mounted on the wings, are visible, ready to provide the power needed for short takeoffs and quick maneuverability. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of military aviation and the vital role the Short C-23A Sherpa played in the United States Air Force's transportation fleet. The image is part of The Tony Lovelock Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for aviation enthusiasts and historians alike.
