This Aero-Flite CL-215 was caputered at its temporary base at Fort Wainwright during the 2006 forest fighting season.

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.

It was getting really late at 22:41, a bit too late for good photography even in Alaska, but there was still just enough light to capture Aero-Flite's Tanker 264 as it overflew Nenana Airport on its way south to deliver another load of water on the flames of the Parks Highway Fire. This fire eventually became a major wildfire, raging intensely for more than four weeks, during which it consumed 467 km² (115,500 acres) of forest south and east of Nenana. It wasn't until 1 Nov 2006 before it was officially declared "out". It was by far the largest wildfire in Alaska in 2006.
