Any Invaders still used for firefighting?

[Steve Nelson]

Just a quick question. I'm writing up a model review on an A-26 kit, and wanted to give a bit of background. I haven't seen pics of any operating on the US fire scene in recent years, are the Airspray birds in Canada also retired from firefighting?

Thanks!

Airspray website seems to indicate the B-26 is still active.

To my knowledge the Lynch Airtankers were the last A-26 US operators. They had the big auction shortly after Always was released.

There are no A-26 air tankers flying on contract. The Canadians were the last to use them and there last contract year was 2000 or 2001 I believe. Just a side note; they were also the last to use the TBM, and B-25 as an air tankers as well.
