Historia
A finales de la década de 1960, la Fuerza Aérea Española necesitaba un avión de transporte robusto para reemplazar a los viejos aviones de la era de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La empresa aeroespacial española CASA diseñó un avión robusto y de forma cuadrada llamado C-212 Aviocar. El Aviocar entró en servicio militar en 1974 durante la Guerra Fría. Podía transportar carga ligera, lanzar paracaidistas o evacuar soldados heridos. Debido a que poseía un tren de aterrizaje grande y resistente, el C-212 podía aterrizar fácilmente en claros de tierra sin pavimentar y en pistas rocosas. Se convirtió en una de las exportaciones de aviación más exitosas de España.
