Delivered to Air Canada with a beautiful retro Trans Canada Air Lines livery that still remains after all the years. It has escaped the Rouge or new Air Canada scheme and it should be retired that way.

It was getting really late at 22:41, a bit too late for good photography even in Alaska, but there was still just enough light to capture Aero-Flite's Tanker 264 as it overflew Nenana Airport on its way south to deliver another load of water on the flames of the Parks Highway Fire. This fire eventually became a major wildfire, raging intensely for more than four weeks, during which it consumed 467 km² (115,500 acres) of forest south and east of Nenana. It wasn't until 1 Nov 2006 before it was officially declared "out". It was by far the largest wildfire in Alaska in 2006.
