Air & Sea Rescue modified C-47? Or some kinda search modified C-47?

This is pretty hard to say for sure. Since it basically has modified C-117 wings attached to C-47 fuselage

. It's a fire bomber for sure...big tank under the belly and traces of fire retartand (sp?) under the fuselage.
And then it has those turbo-props. There's several different modifications of DC-3/C-47 with turbo props...hard to come up with an exact type. Could be that some fire-bomber company has modified it and it's more or less one of a kind?

It's a turbine modified DC3 used for Airtanker work.

I think it's called a BT-67. The conversion company is Balser or Basler or something like that.
