N123CA - Is reg to a 1964 DORNIER DO28 A-1
.........Good looking A/C, NICE pic!

I do believe that's the first time I've seen one
In 1970-1971 I was a US Navy Civil Engineer Corps officer building projects for the South Vietnamese Army at remote locations in the Central Highlands.
I was flown from one project location to another on a weekly basis by Continental Air Service (kind of like the better known Air America operation). The aircraft was usually a Beechcraft Barron. Sometimes when STOL was required, I was flown in a Do-28.
Not only did it look very odd from the outside but sitting inside in the right seat looking out over the engine pods at the mountains/forest/jungle below was unique. Usually a fun ride taking off and landing. Two engines was reassuring.

did not fly them but did fly IN the one that Mike Erich had on the Northslope, Barrow operating as Arctic Guides. in 1975
I flew in one out of PAOT in the mid 70's. The one thing that I remember about the aircraft is that it had the exact same headliner that my 1972 VW bus had.
Well done, a nice crisp photograph.
