DESCRIPTION
The C-188 Argus Tactical Transport is a light, short range cargo aircraft and paratrooper aircraft. It was designed to transport troops across the vast ocean and deliver them to the fight, in addition to the supplies they will need. The rugged design of its gear, to the ability to fly with only 2 engines with ease, earned its reputation for its structural integrity.
