United States Forest Service (USFS) - Basler BT-67 (Douglas DC-3 Conversion) - N142Z (c/n 20494) This aircraft started service as a US Army Air Forces C-47A (c/n 20494 / USAAF Ser No. 43-16028), delivered to the Ninth Air Force (9th AF) in June 1944. It would serve in the US military until July 1945, when ownership would pass to the US Civil Aeronautics Authority (CAA), and successor agency Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) as NC100. It would serve with the FAA until 1970, when the US Department of Agriculture (parent agency of the US Forest Service) assumed ownership as N100Z. N100Z was used as a smokejumper aircraft, dropping smokejumpers via parachute to fight forest fires. In the 1990s the aircraft was sent to Basler Turbo Conversions (BTC) for a fuselage stretch and conversion to turbine power through the installation of Pratt & Whitney Canada (PWC) PT6A-67R turboprop engines. After the conversion, the aircraft also was given a new registration, N142Z. The aircraft has continued since in its smokejumper role with the US Forest Service. The aircraft was used at Aviation Nation 2009 to carry and drop the US Air Force Wings of Blue Parachute Team. UPDATE (July 2013) - This aircraft is now operated by Kenn Borek Air in Canada as C-GKKB.

Winnipeg is not without its fringe, and…
