Buffalo.....50 foot obs, touchdown stop,unload 7tons , go , clear obs, all in 500 meteres, obsatcle to obstacle. greasy African strip, cup of trackmark coffee in right hand spliff in left hand. Leave 6 or so red cross "non qualifying red light" casualties to die on the edge of the strip, and carry some SPLA cadre back for tea and buscuits at loki in their stead and all before lunch.. AH the UN dontcha love em.

Before the purists disagree the 7 tonnes was the "transport" load 25 flap A conversion. With a stol load (4 tonnes full flap in) it would do even better.
