Originally US Navy 136510, this Tracker was obtained by Conair for Firecat conversion. In fact, it became the first Turbo Firecat and after testing and certification, was delivered to France's Sécurité Civile as F-ZWVK - tanker 16. Later re-registered F-ZBFO, it was lost August 25, 1996 fighting a fire in Corsica. An Air Canada 787 now uses this registration.
