Built new in 1986 as a Short 360 and operated by Aer Lingus Commuter as EI-BSP and swedish Holmstrom Air (as SE-KXU) till 1998, the year it was converted to version C-23B+ for the US Army. The modification consists of replacing the single fin rear section of the Short 360 with the dual fin tail / cargo ramp of the Short 330. In total, 28 civilian Short 360 were converted to C-23B+ (N148Z being the last one), each receiving a new c/n. Thirteen C-23B+ ended up with the USFS, with 10 remaining operational at the time of upload. N148Z was modified to C-23C in 2013 (avionics upgrade).

The photographer framed the Pinwheel helicopter (see photo 678360) with this S-51 of the US Forest Service. Other shots show the reg clearly as N155Z but it's not listed by the FAA or anywhere else. From 1960 N155Z was worn by a C-46 Commando that the FAA has also forgotten about. Photo by: Ralph Crane / Life

In 2003, the US Forest Service acquired twenty-five ex-military Bell AH-1 Cobras. These two were made flyable and outfitted with infrared and low light sensors to form the Firewatch Cobra program. The other helicopters remained in storage, providing parts on demand. N109Z is former US Army AH-1F 69-16422. N107Z in behind was formerly AH-1S 83-24194. The last Firewatch Cobra flight was on October 16, 2021, being replaced by newer technology equipment.
