Conair Firecats and Turbofirecats

Anybody have a list of these aircraft? I'm adding them to the registry and I'm not sure I have them all.

Though they're about an hour away from me normally, the recent dump of snow would make it a "Bad Idea" for me to go visit them and find out for you.

Try e-mailing Rick Pederson at Conair. I have his e-mail if you want to PM for it. I am not sure if he'd want me to have his e-mail on here.

I know for sure that they don't operate any turbocats.

The do have several regular trackers (Firecats) that they operate.

They also have a few hundred years worth of airframes sitting in the fields at Abbotsford Airport. If you search Abbotsford Airport on Google Earth you can see them at the top-ish right corner of the airport property North of the BIG hangar. There is one DC-6 on the airport in the google shot and that's where the Firecats usually sit during the winter, but this pictures was taken during the summer while all of Conair's fleet was out working.

I hope that helps a little and either check the conair.ca website, or PM if you'd like a contact e-mail for them.

Cheers,

David
