Visiting from its Abbotsford (CYXX) base on a training flight and using its fleet number as call-sign "Fireguard (FGD) 126". If you zoom in you can see both pilots are looking over my shoulder at a lad filming them with a camcorder. What you can't hear is they were hitting the claxon button to say hello. The claxon is normally used when on standby to call all pilots to scramble for a wildfire.

While most Firecats were former Royal Canadian Navy trackers licensed built by De Havilland Canada, there were also a half dozen ex-US Navy S2Fs converted. This Firecat was originally 136600 with the US Navy retired to MASDC in 1980. Acquired by Conair in 1984, the firebomber conversion was completed by 1986. The aircraft was retired in 2012, but remained stored at Abbotsford. The last Conair operated Firecats were scrapped in the summer of 2020.

Conair Aviation purchased 11 former Flybe Dash 8-400s in 2021 for conversion to Dash 8-400AT air tankers with the installation of an external 10,000 litres (2,640 US gallons) retardant tank. The first couple aircraft flew directly to Abbotsford (YXX) for conversion, but later aircraft have flown from Europe to Muskoka Airport (YQA) in Ontario for painting while awaiting their slot on the conversion line at Abbotsford. Four aircraft for Conair were present on Oct. 11. My article in Skies Magazine provides more details https://skiesmag.com/features/conair-blazing-new-trail-firefighting-q400/

Delivered to the Canadian Air Force in August 1979 with a convertible cargo-passenger interior, this Dash 7 was based in Germany. Most photographed in Europe during the six years with the Air Force or on loan to DeHavilland Canada for display at major air shows, it was sold back to DHC in September 1985. Leased to Air Atlantic as C-GILE before sold to Markair in December 1987. Withdrawn and stored in 1992, the airliner was bought by Conair in November 1995 when the Markair shut down their Alaska operations. Frequently leased out by Conair, it was sold to Trans Capital Air in August 2002.
