Stumbled across this old file, it is the genesis of what would become the Warbird Registry

Wow, what an amazing moment in time. Thanks for sharing that Scott!

The above update is interesting info, thanks.
I took this photo of it's nose art when at the Weeks Air Museum in Miami prior to hurricane Andrew.
Looks like photo shows it marked as an A-26C not a A-26B. FAA Registry says the same.

There's a picture in an issue of Classic Wings. I remember it looking pretty good apart from a funky-looking cowl. I think this is the machine I saw, a Jurca MJ-90: https://www.aviationfanatic.com/images/ ... 594MJ9.jpg
