All-

I am looking for any photos of this A-26...this photo is all I have, and I am particularly looking for more photos of the turrets that are on display, as well as any photos of the interior of the gunner's compartment. Thanks a bunch all! Here's the photo I have:

I'm guessing this is in France?

Hello

Yes, this is the last restauration made in the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace of le Bourget.

44-34773 ex N67944, was used in Centre d'Essais en Vol (Flying test center) from 1959 to 1970, date were she was transferred to the Musée de l'Air. It stayed more than 30 years outside (and Paris weather is not so dry than Davis Monthan!!!) before beeing restaured.

You can have a look on her new colors, 44-35740 F of Groupe de Bombardement 1/25, shot down in april 54 over Dien Bien Phu in Indochina.

is it going to be static or flying when the resto is complete?

The restaurations of the musee de l'Air are generally made the nearest as possible to the original factory state, but never fly.

Excellent photos, as well as the restoration! The web site's got quite a number of photos of other aircraft as well. Very nice!

(Now I just have to brush up on my 7th grade French!)
