This registration was cancelled on 26th September 2016 when the aircraft was sold to Canada where it became C-GFBP with Longview Aviation Services and was converted to turboprop powered CL-215T configuration. 

This registration was cancelled on 6th November when the aircraft was sold to Canada where it became C-FPKW. Cascade Aerospace converted it to turboprop powered CL-215T configuration and it now flies as a water bomber with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency. 

The aircraft was operated as Tanker 262 of Aero-Flite Inc. and was photographed at the company's maintenance base at Kingman, AZ. In 2014 Aero-Flite sold their CL-215s to part fund the purchase of four CL-415 "Super Scoopers", and N262NR went to Canada as C-GFBN where it was converted to turboprop power, becoming a CL-215T but still retaining the c/n 1081. It has since returned to the USA and now flies as N415BT Tanker 281 for Bridger Air Tanker 1 LLC of Belgrade, MT.

A thorough scrub for Pelican 37.

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador owns five CL415s for aerial fire fighting and two King Air B300/B300Cs for air ambulance patient transfers. The hull of this aircraft was substantially damaged while making its sixth scoop from Whitehead Pond, NL on September 15, 2018 when it struck some hidden rocks at high speed. The damaged aircraft was flown back to Gander Airport and grounded. The aircraft has been out of service for six fire seasons (as of 2024). DHC has made a proposal to the Government to repair C-FOFI and upgrade the four operational CL415s. It's become a political issue.

Since 2017, the former Aéronavale ramp on the west side of Nîmes - Garons is home to the water bombers of the Securité Civile. There are very nice opportunities for photography here in the afternoon and surprisingly even the Gendarmerie allow it, although they do not tolerate ladders near the fence.
