This Douglas A-26, C-GHLX, was imported from the US in 1975 and became by Conair Aviation's air tanker No. 32. The aircraft still wears its former US colour scheme, with the US history documented on this site by other photographers. On the far left of the photo is a gunbutt from there wartime RCAF Abbotsford (No. 5 OTU) base and on the right are the fuel pumps and fire retardant tanks of the old BC Forest Service air tanker base. This aircraft was later repainted in Conair's new red and white colours. It was de-registered by Conair in Dec 1985 and registered to Air Spray 1967 Ltd. in July 1987

Built in 2002 and here arriving from Kansas City (KMCO). Looking at the paint scheme it is no surprise that it is ex N978QS of NetJets.

Visiting from its Boise/ID (KBOI) base.

Acquired by Denver Ports of Call in March 1972 registered N182H, the registration was changed to N8835C by September 1972. The aircraft left the fleet in 1981 and was eventually broken up in Florida in 1996.

The Royal Abanians (in exile) were a comedy aerobatic team flying two Pitts Specials. This Aerotek S-2B was built in 1983.

Back to home base in Kelowna

Arriving from Cranbrook

About to land on a flight from Toronto

Returning to its home base after a short test flight

Arriving at sunset from Concord/CA (KCCR) is this 2020 built Vision.

Today is a holiday weekend resulting in this 1975 built 212 coming all the way from its Abbotsford (CYXX) base at 5 pm looking for fuel. Presumably nothing was open at Abbotsford and the Shell here shut at 4 pm, so here it is at World Fuel. After servicing it left for Hope (CYHE) where it was likely engaged in fire suppression.

A 1972 Skyhawk in original factory paint scheme is worth a shot, even though it is a little shop-worn. This one is visiting from its Boundary Bay (CZBB) base.

Built in 2014 and has been based here since September 2022.

Imported new in 1974 and here visiting from its Langley (CYNJ) base.
