The top one is a Bristol Freighter that used to belong to Hawk Air (I saw that particular one on its final flight, actually the last fight of a Bristol freighter, on its way through Prince George to the museum where it now resides)

The bottom one is a Grumman S-2 Tracker, modified for fire service.

That's great. Thanks for responding. I'd love to see what other treasures they have in the storage "shed".

The Firecat was one of three that lived in the Yukon for the summers. I miss the noise.

Sure was a rumble when 3 of them launched in short succession. The air tractors just don't have that appeal.

Used to say 67 was for the dumbest pilot in the crowd, C-GABC and Conair 567.

Ex-Canadian Navy. Conair Firecat. Where was that photo taken?
