Read on here that Oscar Duck's newly restored A-26 flew the other day...does anyone have any photos? And, is she painted yet?

What tanker number was it? I was there at Air Spray in Dec 1999 and got to photograph about 14 of those airplanes. That was a fantastic day.

Oscar

I hope you are going to let us Aussies in on the details - I just bought a couple of new lenses specially for this and I would hate to miss out - any chance of an Air to Air. Never quite did that with the B25 despite being close a couple of times - love to capture her properly pre new scheme - then post new scheme - come on give us a break !!!

Kindest regards
Regards
John P

Great news Oscar.

Congradulations and enjoy :D

The folks at AirSpray are a great bunch. They have always opened the door when I visited.

Just out of curiosity.

Have you removed some of the spraying equipment already ?

Will make a little photo reportage of your trip back home ?

Have a safe trip :D
