Operational military Dakota's

After looking trhoug my pictures I got the idea to open a topic called "Operational military Dakota's". Since I am only 24 I haven't seen much, but with some luck in 2005 I saw some Greece ones. Do you also have pictures of mil Daks, please share them.

Great pictures of a superb aircraft. My only objection is to the very heavy black cadres you used, they do your otherwise excellent shots no credit. But that's a personel opinion ofcourse.
I'm curious to the results of this topic!

A very doubtful contribution on my part, I know! It cannot be compared with modern digital imagery but it's operational! A Danish Dakota landing at Ramstein in early April 1982. Captured on dubious colorfilm (probably Photoquelle or something) But anyway, for what it's worth:

I've found some more recent Dakota's, although I'm not sure they fit in this topic. They are flying and operational but not with (with the exception of the BBMF example) an air arm.
Just delete this reply if it's not what you mean!

It's not flying, nor is it a Dakota, but the Communist countries stole quite a few good and proven designs in the old days. So here's a Chinese sample. Feel free to delete, but just nice to see some pics of Daks
