CP-36
Fairchild C-119G Flying Boxcar CP-36/OT-CBP and CP-28/OT-CBH dropping para-troopers over the Leopoldsburg plain in the late fifties.
Unfortunately CP-36 was lost at Sake-Massisi (Belgian Congo) on 19 July 1960 in what is the Belgian Air Force's worst accident - killing
the crew of 5 and 34 UDA troopers of the 3rd Marscompagnie Vliegveldverdediging (Airbase defence unit).
