"Round Engines" Which Served The CIA In Central America

The CIA-backed Contras used many different types for moving supplies and fighters around different countries in Central America, but also for flights into Nicaragua. This photograph is showing a busy scene from Aguacate airfield, in Honduras, in 1983, and shows (clock-wise) DHC-7 Carribous, Lockheed Harpoon (or similar aircraft), another DHC-7, a DC-6, and a DC-3/C-47 in the foreground. Odd it looks much like Opa Locka Airport in Miami, Florida with so many vintage "Round Engines".
