Grumman TBF Torpedo Bombers, as Fire Bombers, Natrona County International Airport

Grumman TBF Torpedo Bombers, as Fire Bombers, Natrona County International Airport


There are WWII vintage Grumman TBF torpedo bombers serving as fire bombers post-war. These aircraft were kept at the Natrona County International Airport up until the 1980s, when they were stripped of their skins and stored. Within the last five years, there were sold and moved to a new location.

I'm not sure when this photo was taken, other than that I can see the back end of our 1965 Mercury Meteor off to the side. We had that car until 1973. I'm also not too sure who took the photo. Given the odd angle, and the height of it, I suspect I did as a kid.
