A quick photo tribute to Erickson Aero Tanker's beautiful Tanker 60 - a 1958 Douglas DC-7B. She started her life with Eastern Air Lines before being converted into a fire bomber.

Here she is operating out of the Redmond, Oregon tanker base to make drops on the Green Ridge Fire near Sisters, Oregon back in August. Tanker 60 has been very busy on contract with the State of Oregon this summer, and is currently taking part in heroic efforts by firefighters to slow and stop the fires ravishing the state.

Sadly, Tanker 60 is in its last year of service and will be retired after this wildfire season which will be the end of airworthy DC-7s and leaving CL-215s as the last large piston air tankers remaining.

A true ending of an era for those of us on the west coast in particular!

It is always sad to see a great aircraft end its service, but they always seem to find a way to come back after a while. They may only do it one or two at a time, but they do manage because people always remember them.

Old joke? A DC-6 was a 4 engine airplane with 3 bladed propellers. A DC-7 was a 3 engine airplane with 4 bladed propellers! Reliability issues. Several great stories from the Zantop/Universal freight days. BTW, there is a DC-7 in corporate configuration sitting at Goodyear, AZ KGEU. It is airworthy but needs inspections, etc.

Lets hope she ends up at an aviation museum.
