1967 marked the year Air Spray was incorporated as a forest fire suppression company. Operating out of the Municipal Airport in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the company started its business with one air tanker, one bird dog aircraft and a contract for one season with the Alberta Provincial Government to fight forest fires from the air. Air Spray s founder, Don Hamilton had been an aviator since 1943. After leaving the the Royal Canadian Air Force, Don purchased his first aircraft and began flying as a bush pilot in Northern Alberta. Having experience flying numerous aircraft in various roles, he saw the opportunity to use an old A 26 aircraft to fight forest fires in Alberta. The aircraft was converted to the air tanker role after the installation of a tank to hold the fire retardant in the old bomb bay. Paired with a Cessna 310 as a Bird Dog aircraft, this marked the beginning of Air Spray and an exciting era of fire suppression in Western Canada.

The A 26 flew over 30 seasons with Air Spray throughout Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon and Northwest Territories. At its peak, Air Spray owned and operated 18 of the aircraft. Able to haul 900 US gallons of fire retardant and flying at a speed of 210 knots the A 26 was the work horse of Air Spray s air tanker fleet. Click here for more information on the A 26... The Canadair CL - 215 amphibious or "skimmer" aircraft was added to the Air Spray fleet in 1986. The CL-215 skimmer aircraft enabled Air Spray to operate from lakes throughout Alberta. In 2009 the three remaining CL-215 aircraft owned and operated by Air Spray were sold to the Turkish Aeronautical Association (THK). Air Spray still operates and provides maintenance support for the aircraft in Turkey for THK today.
