De Havilland Canada DHC-7 Dash 7 STOL Regional Aircraft Family
The de Havilland Canada DHC-7 Dash 7 is a four-engine regional turboprop designed to combine a roughly 50-seat cabin with short takeoff and landing performance. First flown in 1975, it served airlines and military operators that needed access to constrained, remote, or noise-sensitive airports. De Havilland Canada delivered 113 aircraft between 1978 and 1988, and surviving Dash 7s continue in specialized passenger, utility, and government work.
