Tanker 58 was brought back to operational status for the 2015 fire season because of delayed Electra certification. Here, she is under maintenance in the Buffalo hangar in Yellowknife where she arrived the previous night. The control panel for the fire retardant tanks, installed by Aero Union, is to the right of the captain's control wheel. The red lanyard indicates the control surfaces gust lock has been set.

The pride taken by 'Buffalo Joe' and his company in the operation of this propliner is evident from the nose art. The "First around the World" logo was adopted by the Douglas Aircraft Company after a group of Douglas World Cruisers had successfully circumnavigated the globe - in 1924.

A somewhat closer look at C-FBAM, still in NASA colours and with Aero Union logo. The weight of only the number 1 engine is not sufficient to keep it from resting on its tail.

Not wearing any exterior markings apart from the remains of the airtanker number, the former N62342 had been registered in Canada with Buffalo Airways on July 17, 2007. As such, it is remaining for sale by mid-2020 with 14201 flying hours, which is a really low number for a 1945 C-54.

C-FIQM was considerably damaged while landing on an ice strip in March 1990, operated by Kenn Borek Air. They were not permitted to leave her to sink at the remote location, to protect the environment. She was recovered to Calgary, acquired by Joe McBryan and repaired in Tucson. In storage as shown for less than a year at the photo date, missing the #1 and #3 engines. For sale with 41,709.5 hours total time.
