CASA C-207 Azor

The CASA C-207 Azor was a twin-engine transport aircraft produced by Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA in Spain, a scaled-up development of the C-202 Halcón that was meant for the domestic civil market. It won no civil orders, so CASA turned to the Spanish Air Force, which ordered ten aircraft, and the first, designated T.7A, entered service in 1960. A second batch was configured as the C-207C with large rear doors and room for 37 paratroopers. The C-207B carried 40 passengers or 4,000 kilograms of cargo on two Bristol Hercules radial piston engines. Two prototypes and 20 production aircraft flew with the military until the early 1980s, and several survive on static display at Getafe, Madrid and Seville.
