This Electra began its fire fighting career after nearly 50 years of passenger and freight flying. Delivered to Western Airlines in 1961, it was converted to a freighter in 1969. Sold to Canada's International Jetair (CF-IJC) in 1971, the aircraft would later fly with Nordic Air (LN-MOD), Fred Olsen (LN-FOG) and Atlantic Airlines (G-LOFD) before Conair bought it in 2010.
