C-23 military SD3-60

It's a combo of sorts of a 3-30 and a 3-60.

It's the box the CASA came in if it helps!

The CASA 212s are actually designated C-41As, and are used by AFSOC.

The C-23 is no longer operated by the Air Force. The Army operateds the Sherpa, which is based on the Shorts 330.

No, actually, the C-23B+, and C's are remanufactured Shorts 360's. They were built in Clarksburg, WV by Bomabardier, where they sliced off the 360 tail and put on a 330 looking modification and a ramp door. The ramp door can be opened inward and outward. The AF C-23A's were 330's and could only open the ramp door outward.

The big advantage of the inward opening ramp door is for para-drop ops.

The US Army does own a few Casa 212's and a 235.
