The cabin of this airtanker has no function itself anymore: it is not to be used for passengers or cargo. Several of the extensive modifications to turn an Electra into a Long Liner are visible, noticeably the wing reinforcement beam just above the floor and the lack of interior panels. The latter is part of the removal of the cabin pressurization and noise reduction provisions, as those add weight that can be done without in the firefighting role.
