Is that the one that is now in PIMA? Or is that an early photo o the Air Heritage bird?

[RMAllnutt]

This is the former Nicaraguan Air Force bird, A-20H 44-0020, recovered by Dave Tallichet in the late '70's, and formerly of Air Heritage in Beaver Falls, PA. Anyone know where it is now?... I seem to remember hearing it got moved recently.

Nice shot too.

Cheers,

Thanks Mike... I hadn't realized HAG was back into restorations again. Strange how it got moved after all that time and effort put into her at Air Heritage. Has she been gifted to HAG, or is she still owned by MARC???

Cheers,

I think MARC still owns it. I have not read or heard that it was given / bought... by the HAG. It would be VERY NICE to see it stay there.

Second that!

Geneso needs some more birds to be stationed there. This A-20 would be ideal! I also heard that there was a Hispano 109 there owned by Dr. Bill Anderson. Is this true? Can someone set the record straight for me?

[hang the expense]

Yes, that is daves bird.I moved the whole plane minus engines on a hotshot to beaver falls back in 91.No permits and outlaw as hell.I know parts of route 66 that noone has seen since the fifties.She has come along,long way thanks to the Beaver falls group.

The Hispano is long gone out of Geneseo. Dr Bill has a 108 in the back of one of the hangers but no 109. I forget where the the 109 went.

Ah yes, I was thinking of this the other day, (before this thread) I remember seeing your guys' video of it, someone had put a sign on the the A20 "yes it's an A20" hilarious stuff!!!! I was surprised to find a pic of me in the cockpit recently, I didn't even remember taking. Those were such great days. Headed out to Dave's memorial today. I didn't really want to go but know I have to.

Yes, that is her.That is one sweet picture.From what i remember,Dave was down there on a vacation and ran up on it.the story i got was that he traded an A-26 for it.I wonder if the 26 is around there?
