Originally a US Navy S2F-1 Tracker (BuNo 136712). Withdrawm from use in 1979 and stored at MASDC. Acquired by Conair in 1987 as C-GYQY and converted to Conair Firecat, then delivered to the Sécurité Civile as F-ZBEW in May 1987 (using F-WEOJ for the ferry flight). Returned to Conair in Sep 1993 for conversion to Turbo Firecat, and redelivered as F-ZBEW in July 1994 (using F-WEOL for both ferry flights).
