Everts Air Fuel Douglas DC-6B N651CE
This DC-6 was originally built for Northwest Airlines, delivered in March 1958 as N351. It then passed to Kar-Air (OH-KDB,) followed by Delta Air Transport (OO-EVG and OO-VGE.) With Canada's Conair as C-GHLY by 1973, it was converted to a water bomber. When Conair retired their DC-6 firefighting tanker fleet, Everts bought them for parts, but C-GHLY was in good enough shape and had enough hours left to refurbish and put back into service. It retains parts of its Conair tanker paint scheme.
