Burchinal's Place - Flying Tigers

[T J Johansen]

Any photos of the A-26 N190M "Snow Queen" which languished in Paris, TX in the early 80s? It was destroyed on take-off in aug. 85 on the way to Aero Nostalgia in Stockton, CA.

GREAT story! Thanks for posting that link, and all those great photos. Jr. must be a very interesting guy to talk to. Anybody got a photo of him so's we know who we're talking about?

Thanks again...

Made a flight up to a friends strip up in Paris, Texas yesterday. As I flew over I took this shot of Flying Tigers airfield. The only aircraft visible from the air is a Convair. Cant imagine operating all those Warbirds out of this grass strip! Sounds like the Burchinal's still live on the property.

Ellen and I were meadering around northeast Texas yesterday and shot this photo from the north end, two years after Dan took the one above:
