With history going back to 1945 with delivery to the US Navy as 85460, this Avenger went to the Royal Canadian Navy next from 1950 - 60. Returning to the USA as N7032, the aircraft was converted to a tanker and sprayer. Back to Canada once again in 1976 for Forest Protection Limited of Fredericton, NB as C-GFPS, it spent a busy 25 years in Eastern Canada. Inactive and stored during 2003 - 2004, the aircraft was sold privately in 2005 to become N145WB. Pictured still in Forest Protection Limited colors, it has been kept in tanker configuration, but does no work.
