Aero Union 1960 – 1997

Aero Union’s Past Demonstrated Ability

~ contributed by cbk


We received this lovely little piece of historical documentation of the tanker operations — for 37 years — of Aero Union’s fleet, including its P-3 Orions flying out of Chico in northern California. The much-missed red/white P-3 ships were the last of a long line of Aero Union’s many airtankers, the red/white icons of aerial firefighting. Not many companies have a history so impressive.
