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.

They were launched on another fire moments after this photo was taken. The smoke and rumbling sound of those round engines as they come to life is awesome.

Retired and probably scrapped by now. All the Firecats were retired and a small number made it to museums. They were a very effective fire fighting aircraft for a long time but their time was up.
