The CASA C-207 Azor was a Spanish transport aircraft produced by CASA. It was a scaled-up version of the CASA C-202 Halcón and was designed for the domestic civil market. The 207 received no civil orders, but the Spanish Air Force ordered 10. The first model, designated T.7A entered service in 1960. Ten more aircraft were ordered and configured for paratroop or cargo transport, designated CASA 207C(T.7B).
The two prototypes and 20 production aircraft served in the military until the 1980s.
