Conair Aviation purchased 11 former Flybe Dash 8-400s in 2021 for conversion to Dash 8-400AT air tankers with the installation of an external 10,000 litres (2,640 US gallons) retardant tank. The first couple aircraft flew directly to Abbotsford (YXX) for conversion, but later aircraft have flown from Europe to Muskoka Airport (YQA) in Ontario for painting while awaiting their slot on the conversion line at Abbotsford. Four aircraft for Conair were present on Oct. 11. My article in Skies Magazine provides more details https://skiesmag.com/features/conair-blazing-new-trail-firefighting-q400/

Delivered to the Canadian Air Force in August 1979 with a convertible cargo-passenger interior, this Dash 7 was based in Germany. Most photographed in Europe during the six years with the Air Force or on loan to DeHavilland Canada for display at major air shows, it was sold back to DHC in September 1985. Leased to Air Atlantic as C-GILE before sold to Markair in December 1987. Withdrawn and stored in 1992, the airliner was bought by Conair in November 1995 when the Markair shut down their Alaska operations. Frequently leased out by Conair, it was sold to Trans Capital Air in August 2002.

Taking the opposite route of many classic propliners, this DC-6 (and sister ship C-GKUG) started as an airliner with Western Airlines in 1957. Bought by the USAF 1965 and converted to C-118A 65-12816, it was leased to Chile under MDAP as FAC 985 in 1967. Returning to the USA in 1982, it was added to Conair's fleet in April and converted to a tanker. Sold in 2000 to Tatonduk Outfitters Ltd (Everts Air Cargo) as N60759, the aircraft was moved to their storage yard in Fairbanks, AK in 2002 where it remains, now registered N511CE.

Built for Northwest Airlines in 1956 and later flew with Sterling Airways in Europe. Imported by Conair in 1974, it was one of a pair converted for pollution control where chemicals were pumped out of the large pipe in the tail. Oil spill dispersal in the Gulf of Mexico was what they worked on so here probably only for some maintenance related reason. Later converted for water dropping and cancelled in August 1994 after being scrapped at Abbotsford/BC.
