N9505C, 1956 Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina, C/N: 34027/1411/1581
Two PBY5As, this one and N31235, were used as retardant and water bombers on a 72,500 acre wildfire in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the late summer of 1976. I was the assistant fire boss for the state on the fire and believe they came from Alaska
