The Air Force Academy chose the de Havilland Twin Otter (designated UV-18B) to train cadets in parachute drops — its single-engine capability essential at Colorado Springs, where the aircraft operated from small strips above 6,000 feet. The new aircraft would let the Academy's airmanship program grow from 300 to roughly 750 cadets a year.

Provenance & Condition

This is an original print advertisement, carefully removed from an authentic January 9, 1978 issue of Aviation Week — not a reproduction. 48 years old, with the paper tone and character of a genuine press run. Approximate size 8.5" x 11".

What's Included

Every order ships with bonus clippings from the same issue and a curated report of what was making aerospace news that week — a snapshot of the world this ad first appeared in.
