Photo Comment

This C-54 was once owned by Central Air Service and operated as fire fighter in the 1970s. Code 102 and the fire retardant drop tank located on the underside of the belly are a remainder of that time. This drop tank however was later removed but the aircraft remained stored at the Dempsay farm airstrip.
