Originally a Convair 340 with Delta Airlines (N4810C) delivered in 1953, C-FKFA was previously with Kelowna Flightcraft Air Charter. The aircraft was acquired by Conair in 2000 and converted to a tanker for fire fighting. Though current at the time of uploading, Conair is retiring the Convairs in favor of newly converted DHC-8-400s.

This group of three CV580's have been assigned to Penticton for the fire season and it is likely to be the last year for them to be contracted to the British Columbia Forest Service as they are said to be retiring at the end of the season. They have been very effective in fighting fires for well over 20 years.

Visiting from its Abbotsford (CYXX) base on a training flight and using its fleet number as call-sign "Fireguard (FGD) 126". If you zoom in you can see both pilots are looking over my shoulder at a lad filming them with a camcorder. What you can't hear is they were hitting the claxon button to say hello. The claxon is normally used when on standby to call all pilots to scramble for a wildfire.

While most Firecats were former Royal Canadian Navy trackers licensed built by De Havilland Canada, there were also a half dozen ex-US Navy S2Fs converted. This Firecat was originally 136600 with the US Navy retired to MASDC in 1980. Acquired by Conair in 1984, the firebomber conversion was completed by 1986. The aircraft was retired in 2012, but remained stored at Abbotsford. The last Conair operated Firecats were scrapped in the summer of 2020.

This Dash 7 was first delivered to Arkia Israeli Airlines on October 20, 1981 (4X-AHB). In 1984 Air Atonabee was reorganized into City Express and registered C-GGXS to the airline in June. When City Express shut down in 1991, the airline's parent company moved the aircraft to subsidiary ALS Aero Lease and Sales. In 1994 , it was transferred to Trans Capital Air, another subsidiary. The aircraft is pictured during 1995 operating for Conair Aviation with small Conair titles by the entry door and a British Colombia Forest Service crest on the nose. Air Tindi bought C-GGXS in March 2021.
