Air tankers/Air sprayers - Page 2

Air tanker companies

A considerable number of surplus B-25's found use with contractors who flew for the US Forest Service as fire-fighting aerial tankers in which fire-retardant chemical tanks were installed in the bomb bay. However, after four crashes during the 1960 fire season in the western USA, the Mitchell was declared unsuitable by the US Forest Service for use as an aerial tanker, and most were withdrawn from use. The Mitchell had better luck in Canada as an aerial tanker, G&M Aircraft of St. Albert, Alberta using them until 1992.

Surplus Mitchells also were briefly used as aerial agricultural pesticide sprayers. All military equipment was removed and underwing or undertail booms were fitted for the dispensing of pesticide. The pesticide tanks were installed in the fuselage and wings as well as in the bomb bay. However, environmental concerns about the widespread use of pesticides led to the rapid decline in the demand for agricultural B-25s, and most examples were converted to other uses or sold.
