The cabin of this airtanker has no function itself anymore: it is not to be used for passengers or cargo. Several of the extensive modifications to turn an Electra into a Long Liner are visible, noticeably the wing reinforcement beam just above the floor and the lack of interior panels. The latter is part of the removal of the cabin pressurization and noise reduction provisions, as those add weight that can be done without in the firefighting role.

A closer look at this Long Liner's nose decorations. Tanker 481 had been operated for the B.C. government, as indicated by the "Forest Service British Columbia - Airtanker Operations" badge on the fuselage. On the nose wheel door is an emblem commemorating "45 years Wild Fire Suppression". Another L-188, two Commanders and an AT-802 are in the background.

The forward part of the roomy office of the Long Liner. Digital displays only for engine power, TCAS, GPS and weather radar. On the glare shield, left of centre, is the indicator panel for the fire retardant tank. Outside, C-GLBA is sitting on the Buffalo part of the apron.

Engine test run on this powerful airplane. It can be ready for take-off three minutes after a cold start, yet has a firefighting mission endurance of four hours. On the nose is the logo of Alberta Wildfire Management - Air Attack, in the form of the province's outline.

Pre fire season preparations by Air Spray on a busy apron at their Red Deer base. Air Spray is certified to perform depot-level maintenance, like manufacuring wing panels that only need to be post-processed in the USA. In the background are sisterships C-GZCF and C-GHZI.

Freshly out of the hangar after maintenance. No titles or logos worn here and some empannage skin plating still in primer. Like most Commanders, this one too logically had a longish corporate career, before becoming a bird dog.

Bird dog and airtanker. The co-operation between the crews of these aircraft is a fascinating and demanding task. Bird Dog 54 is wearing the "Alberta Wildfire Management - Air Attack" badge on the tail. The Electra is L-188A C-GZVM/485.

This Commander had a number of corporate jobs as N8LD and N349AC before being bought by Air Spray in November 1999. Bird Dog 52 was wearing the "45 years Wild Fire Suppression" and "Forest Service British Columbia - Airtanker Operations" badges on both sides.

Tanker 498 gets fire retardant stains removed while standing down during British Colombia's 2017 fire season. Originally delivered to Eastern Airlines (N5525) in 1959, the Electra spent another 30 years flying freight before Air Spray bought it in 2011. First registered C-GKIL, Buffalo Airways cancelled the registration on their DC-3 C-FDTH to make it available to Air Spray in 2012.
