Tanker Cat85

[262crew]

[CAPFlyer]

Good to see her still active. Is she still operating for Flying Fireman as a tanker, or is she doing something else? Last I was able to get information, the State of Washington had cancelled the standing contract, but never heard if they'd found contracts elsewhere or on a short-term basis with the state.

If I'm reading it right, the registration is N8SU, but the FAA website claims that N# belongs to a 1954 BEECH C-35 who's registered owner lives in Bellevue, WA. and the registration is under revocation-Bale bombing?

[CAPFlyer]

N8SU is not the registration. It's N85U (just like the tanker number).

And according to the FAA, it's still registered to Flying Fireman, Inc. - http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry ... &x=22&y=13
