The DHC-5A is the utility transport model of the de Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo, the twin-engined short takeoff and landing aircraft developed from the piston-powered DHC-4 Caribou after a 1962 United States Army requirement for a STOL transport able to carry the same payload as the CH-47A Chinook helicopter. While the four aircraft ordered by the US Army were the basic DHC-5, the DHC-5A was the version supplied to the Brazilian Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Peruvian Air Force; Canada took fifteen as the CC-115, first for tactical transport at CFB St Hubert and from 1970 in the transport and rescue role. Production of the DHC-5A ended in 1972 after the sales to Brazil and Peru, and the line was restarted in 1974 with the improved DHC-5D.
