Tanker 58 was brought back to operational status for the 2015 fire season because of delayed Electra certification. Here, she is under maintenance in the Buffalo hangar in Yellowknife where she arrived the previous night. The control panel for the fire retardant tanks, installed by Aero Union, is to the right of the captain's control wheel. The red lanyard indicates the control surfaces gust lock has been set.

If only I had known they would manage to get this beauty ready for a ferry flight across the lake that same evening. She departed to Yellowknife some five hours after I left. With 27,673 hours on the clock, she was put up for sale after the 2015 fire season and still is in 2020.

The pride taken by 'Buffalo Joe' and his company in the operation of this propliner is evident from the nose art. The "First around the World" logo was adopted by the Douglas Aircraft Company after a group of Douglas World Cruisers had successfully circumnavigated the globe - in 1924.

By now you would think this 65 year old would be up north for fire season. Nice to be able to find it in Red Deer though.
