US Navy Avenger bu 86020 was taken on strength by the Royal Canadian Navy in 1950. Using the bu number as the RCN serial, the aircraft was struck off strength in 1958. Registered N7157C circa 1961 and flown as a firebomber until 1976 when bought by Forest Protection Limited and registered C-GFPL. After a gear up landing with minimal damage, it was replaced by a spare aircraft rather than changing the engine and stored 2001 - 06. While most of the FPL Avenger fleet became warbirds or museum artifacts, this one sadly crashed April 23, 2010 after the pilot suffered a heart attack in flight.

Aircraft sustained fuel management problems (misidentified as a mechanical issue) during a low-level spraying flight out of Sussex, NB and attempted a wheels-up forced landing on McLaughlan Road / Highway 126 north of Moncton, NB, Canada. A wingtip struck a telephone pole and the aircraft swerved off the road into a field, sustaining significant damage. Normally prior to spraying a block there was a radio call for "spray check" at which time a full wing tank was selected and revs increased among other items. Pilot missed this call due to radio malfunction. The fuselage was trucked out the previous day. Pilot was unhurt.
