    Several years ago, Air Wisconsin used to fly the BAE 146. I remember when they started phasing them out. At least one (I do not remember if there were more) was sold to be used as a fire-bomber, and I remember running into one of the crew members I knew before it departed on its last trip to the new owners.

    It is odd the things that come to mind after one is retired...

    I think this is the company who purchased it.
    Neptune Aviation's five BAe-146 air tankers - Fire Aviation

    Memories can be faulty, after all.
