Hey Medby,

Was that a Fire Boss ? or was a 802 on wheels ?
All I can think is fire supression since I havent seen a lot of agriculture in the area...

Three Conair Fire Bosses and a leased one from the states showed up at CYBR this summer on their way back from Ontario fires, and did TV interview with the local channel, the pilot said those four were the only ones in Canada. (On Floats).

I spent a summer out Armstrong a few years ago. There was a few piston tractors doing forest spraying for bugs. Maybe they picked up a contract.

It would have to be a very profitable contract to go spray those forest tent caterpillars, I mean to go get an 802... when you can do it with an Ag Truck. I imagine an 802 doing fires and some serious spraying in big fields. My 2 cents

The 802 came with the new chief pilot. My guess is it won't do much of anything in armstrong.

I agree the 802 won't do much in Armstrong, but what do you mean by it 'came with the new CP'? Did he own it?

Who is the new CP?
