Comments edit
I dispute the word "conversion" in the description of the Buffalo. It wasn't a straight conversion, it was a whole new plane. New tail design, bigger wing, etc.
Landing inside a Baseball field edit
Does anyone have details about the time a DHC-5 Buffalo landed inside a baseball stadium (possibly Yankee Stadium in NY) and took off again. I saw the video years ago but am unable to find any info on this event on the Web.Hudicourt 16:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Well I guess it was just my memory playing games with me..... I was never able to find anyone who knew or had seen this video.74.15.138.27 (talk) 14:31, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Take Off and Landing Distances edit
Does anybody know the DHC- 5's take off and landing distances. The article mentions that it is a STOL aircraft. 2.120.5.170 (talk) 10:55, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
- The publication de Havilland Canada: DHC-5A Buffalo STOL Tactical Transport, page 6. de Havilland Canada, May 1971 claims take-off and landing distances of 2,100 ft (640 m). I will add this. - Ahunt (talk) 14:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
- It depends on the weight - Jane's 1982–83 (as used in the specifications) gives a take-off run of 2300 ft and a landing distance of 850 ft at MTOW (49200 lb) which drops to 950 ft and 550 ft with a 12,000 lb payload (compared at 18000 lb at MTOW).Nigel Ish (talk) 15:38, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
- The company data says that 2100 feet is at 49,200 lbs for take-off and 46,900 for landing and those numbers are to and from a 50 ft obstacle. At 41,000 lbs take-off and 39,100 for landing the landing over a 50 ft obstacle becomes 1210 ft and the landing 980 ft. - Ahunt (talk) 16:09, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
