EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Short C-23A Sherpa 83-0512, a versatile transport aircraft of the United States Air Force (USAF), assigned to the 412th Test Wing at Edwards Air Force Base around 1990. With the registration number MSN SH.3100, this Shorts Brothers-built aircraft is seen in its prime, ready for various missions. The Short C-23A Sherpa, a twin-turboprop short-range transport, was designed to provide tactical airlift capabilities for the USAF Special Operations Command. Its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities made it an ideal choice for operations in remote locations. The C-23A's versatility was further enhanced by its ability to be configured for various roles, including cargo, passenger, and medical evacuation. In this image, the aircraft's distinctive paint scheme and the pristine condition of its exterior reflect the meticulous maintenance and care provided by the 412th Test Wing personnel. The Short C-23A Sherpa served the USAF admirably, and this photograph captures a moment in time when this remarkable aircraft was at the pinnacle of its service.
