This is SNJ-5 USN Bureau Number 84969. This aircraft raced in the T-6 Class at the 1977 Reno Air Races, placing 5th in the T-6 Medallion Race.

Built for USAAF as P-51D 44-74483. Transferred to RCAF, who operated the a/c from November 1950 through 1958. When this slide was taken in 1977 it was owned by Mr. George Perez. It is currently still airworthy with reg. N51GP and owned by Hangar 121 LLC of Sonoma, CA.

This a/c was operated by Evergreen Helicopters from December 1974 through March 1983. On 27 February 1989 it was involved in a crash at Grand Canyon Airport, AZ. Both aircrew and 8 of 19 passengers aboard perished.

Originally delivered to the U.S. Navy, serial 85883. Just two months after this photo was taken the aircraft crashed and was destroyed.

This splendid-looking CDF Huey once served with the US Army as 69-15713.

Tanker 83 is the third Tracker to use the registration N424DF. The first one was c/n 254 (1974-1985) and the second one was c/n 403 (1985-1998). The Tracker in this photo was registered as N424DF on 30 Aug 2001.

This immaculate Tracker is the very first Marsh Turbo Tracker. It was converted in 1998, and registered to the CDF as N422DF on 30 Aug 2001. It is the third Tracker to use that registration. The first one was c/n 017 (1974-1985) and the second one was c/n 212 (1985-1998).

An amazingly clean and sparkling Bronco (ex US Marines Bu155457) parked at the scenic airport of Columbia, waiting for its next assignment.

After more than 30 years of faithful firefighting service (9,952 flying hours), the CDF transferred this nice little airtanker to the Columbia Airport Authorities on 7 Apr 2006, for display at their airport. Tanker 76 is located on the remote side of the runway, hence this distant and somewhat heat-hazed shot.
