Given the neighbors, he might want to arm it.

Anybody with an idea as to what happened here? Did it come across or not?

Someone asked me the other day and I had no answer, but can you fly over the camps at Auschwitz? I know a fly-over of Israeli F-15s was frowned upon by the museum there.
Imagine this A-26 going overhead, once it gets to Poland.

Lost an engine in Tennessee on its way across the US for its transatlantic flight. I am not sure if they have gotten it changed...

They stopped in Tullahoma, Tenn. for a fuel stop. Shortly after departure the right engine failed and they made an emergency landing in McMinnville, Tn. ( KRNC) . The right engine has to be replaced. I 5hink they had a spare but it was the wrong dash number of the R-2800. They found the correct dash number but are having it gone through. Meanwhile the props were sent out and some of the accessories. It is hangared at this time .

Well, at least it is under roof for now. Hopefully they will get it sorted soon and that the ferry flight can continue. We do need a few Invaders flying in Europe.
