The first Neptune to be converted to airtanker (in 1969). Acquired by Evergeen Helicopters circa 1980, and flown to their base at Pinal Airpark, Marana, AZ for storage. Officially registered to them as N208EV in Oct 1984, but was never painted as such. In fact the storage at Marana turned out to be permanent, and this aircraft never flew again and was eventually scrapped there.
