US Air Force 45-35875 was used post-war by Rock Island Oil & Refining Co registered as N4816E. Coming to Canada in 1963 as CF-PGF, Air Spray bought it and after conversion, put it into service in 1970 as their first A-26 air tanker. Airspray has a few A-26s left at their Red Deer, AB base after retirement of the fleet and there are plans to keep Tanker 1 and someday mount it on a plinth.
