Tanker 16 in a group during fire action at Kamloops. This Avenger started its life with the US Navy in 1945 and later went to the Royal Canadian Navy. From there it spent many years in the fire fighting and ag spraying industry first with Skyway, then Conair from 1969 - 1977 and finally Forest Protection. The Avenger eventually went to the Tri-State Warbird Museum in 2004. This photo was added on 7 July 2020, and has since been viewed 1029 times. |
