Photo Comment

This is one of the last-built Consolidated Cansos, previously known as N314CF. After its military career the aircraft became an aerial firefighter and served in Canada and Spain. Restoration was well under way here with 'blisters' mounted while a multitude of ropes kept the Cat secured. She was restored to flying status eventually by appropriately named Black Cat Aviation in Indiana. [50mm 1/200 f8 on Velvia]
