Unfortunately the US Forest Service terminated Aero Union's airtanker contract less than a year after this photo was taken, on 29 July 2011, due to alleged safety violations. All their magnificent P-3 Aerostar airtankers, including this former Spanish Orion (ex P.3-5), were withdrawn from use and stored at McClellan, Sacramento, CA.

US Navy P-3A bu 150510 was transferred to the Spanish Air Force . On return, it was sold to Hawkins & Powers in 1996 for parts. Aero Union bought the aircraft in 2004 and converted it to a P-3 Aerostar. With Aero Union's bankruptcy in 2011, it was stored at Chico and since acquired by United Aeronautical Corp when they purchased the MAFFS 2 fire fighting system.

Originally US Navy 151391, this Orion was retired from the military in 1986 and stored at MASDC. Bought by Aero Union Corp and converted to an fire fighting air tanker, first registered N180AU and later N900AU. In July 2011, the US Forest Service cancelled Aero Union's contract due to safety concerns. That contract was 95% of the company's income and resulted in it closing it's door shortly after. This P-3 as well as others have been stored at various airports since the end of 2011.
