In 2012 the Conair Group donated their Tanker #64 to the Canadian Museum of Flight. It is seen here on its last flight, making a nice water drop before landing at her final resting place at the museum in Langley, BC. This Tracker started life on 1 April 1958 as 1539 of the Canadian Navy. It was transferred to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources on 28 Sep 1972 as CF-OPU, and flew for them as Tanker #54 until acquired by Conair in 1980. They converted it to Firecat (conversion number 007) in 1981, and as Tanker #64 it would serve them well for 31 years! Photo by: Mike Luedey / Yellow Drum Productions.
