In open storage at Red Deer, Air Spray's engineering base, still carrying the basic colours of Mandala Airlines. Delivered new to Northwest Airlines in 1959 as N123US. Joined San Diego Padres as team transport in 1969. Transferred to West Coast Properties Inc of San Diego - Air California - in 1971 as N123AC. Exported to Indonesia for Mandala Airlines in 1979 as PK-RLD. Acquired by Air Spray in 1995 as part of a firebomber conversion programme, re-registered C-FVFI. Eventually only used by Air Spray as a source of spares.

Ex N123AC, registered Nov 1979 and went to Air Spray as C-FVFI 3rd Aug 1995

In Mandala Airlines colours, with the former tail and nose cone of C-FLXT. Has a great view on the runway where others fly thanks to its donated parts.

This Electra has a new look. It is wearing the long tail unit from Electra C-FLXT (including its reg on the fin!), which is now a working air tanker. It will never fly again but its parts keep others in the air. Retired Riley Rocket C-GXJP rests beside it.

Delivered new to Northwest in August 1959 and sold in February 1969. Served Air California from July 1970 until November 1979.
