Parked at the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service buildings in Missoula, MT. Used to take teams of smoke jumpers to fight wildfires. Built in 1944 as 44-77235 and transferred to the RAF as KP265. Returned to the USAF postwar, becoming N2700A. Exported to Honduras in 1954. Joined the Forest Service ten years later, as N146Z at one stage. Converted by Basler in 1991, the seventh BT-67, registered N115Z with the Forest Service. This photo is copyright © David A.
