An DHC-5D De Havilland's design, the DHC-5 Buffalo, was chosen as the winner of the United States Army competition in early 1963, with four DHC-5s, designated YAC-2 (later CV-7A and subsequently C-8A) ordered. The first of these aircraft made its maiden flight on 9 April 1964. All four aircraft were delivered in 1965, the Buffalo carrying nearly twice the payload as the Caribou while having better STOL performance. The prototype CV-7A was exhibited by the manufacturer at the 1965 wearing US Army markings. No further US orders followed, however, as at the start of 1967 (See the ), inter-service politics led to large fixed-wing transports being transferred to the, who considered themselves adequately equipped with the. Company data claims a takeoff distance over a 50 ft (15 m) obstacle of 1,210 ft (369 m) at 41,000 lb (18,597 kg) and a landing distance of over a 50 ft (15 m) obstacle of 980 ft (299 m) at 39,100 lb (17,735 kg) for the DHC-5A model. In the early 1980s, de Havilland Canada attempted to modify the Buffalo for civilian use.

The aircraft was to be branded as the 'Transporter.' After loss of the demonstration aircraft (SN 103 C-GCTC) at the 1984, the project was abandoned. A DHC-5 Buffalo taking off A production DHC-5D Buffalo was used for breaking time-to-height records for the weight category 12,000–16,000 kg (26,430–35,242 lb) on 16 February 1976, reaching 3,000 m (9,836 ft) in 2 min 12.75 sec, 6,000 m (19,672 ft) in 4 min 27.5 sec and 9,000 m (29,508 ft) in 8 min 3.5 sec. Experimental use [ ] In the early 1970s, a C-8A Buffalo (nicknamed Bisontennial in 1976) was fitted with a short-span wing incorporating split-flow engines based on the (providing both propulsion and augmentor airflow for the powered lift system). Beginning in 1972 with its first flight in this experimental configuration, this aircraft was used jointly by the and the Canadian for STOL research. United States Army CV-7A at,, November 1965 In late 1965, one of the prototype DHC-5s operated by the was deployed to in for a three-month evaluation period, assigned to the 2nd Flight Platoon of the. The first acquired 15 DHC-5A designated as CC-115 for tactical transports.

These were initially operated at CFB St Hubert, QC by in a tactical aviation role as part of Mobile Command. In 1970, the Buffalo aircraft were transferred to a transport and rescue role with, and as part of Transport Command. Also flew the aircraft for training.

Some were leased back or loaned back to the factory for trials and eventually returned to military service. Three of the aircraft were also deployed on UN missions to the with No. 116 Transport Unit until 1979. They had a white paint scheme which was retained while they were serving in domestic transport with 424 Sqn in between deployments. On 9 August 1974, was shot down by a, killing all nine CF personnel on board.

This represents the single biggest loss of Canadian lives on a UN mission as well as the most recent Canadian military aircraft to be shot down. In 1975, the Buffalo dropped its tactical transport role and was converted to domestic search and rescue, except for a few that kept serving on UN missions. The initial paint scheme for the SAR converted aircraft were white and red while others still had the original drab paint. The previous drab paint and white paint were eventually replaced with the distinctive yellow and red scheme commonly seen today. The number of aircraft have been reduced to eight, with six on active service, one in storage (recently dismantled) and one used for battle damage training.

The remaining operational Buffalos operate in the role for No. 442 Squadron. Air Command was renamed the Royal Canadian Air Force in 2011, meaning the CC-115 has served with the RCAF, Air Command and now the RCAF once again. The Buffalo was replaced by the aircraft at search-and-rescue bases in and.

The or were seen as the likely replacements for the Buffalo in Canadian Forces. The C-27J has been considered for a sole-source contract by the Government of Canada. Production of the DHC-5A ended in 1972 after sales to and but restarted with the DHC-5D model in 1974. This variant sold to several overseas air forces beginning with. Production of the DHC-5D ended in December 1986.
