Back in 2001 or 2002, I had gone to the Abbotsford Airshow for the weekend. Just off to the left of the RV parking area we were in, was a fenced off compound which had about 20 or 25 Trackers parked in it. Some were parked with the wings folded and others had the wings removed. I asked a airshow volunteer why they were there and was told they were going to be converted into water/fire bombers. Looking at a satellite view of the airfield now, I see that the compound (and aircraft) have gone.
