Since I've been redoing old photo files, I thought I'd occasionally post some old stuff when I find something interesting or unusual...

I was not thinking of this as a quiz -- just some interesting old pictures, but you are correct. The B-26 is the only one I remember seeing with the wing package guns. I posted the B-23 just because I really like the type, and because this example was later owned by a guy I knew fairly well. Hard to believe nobody has bought it by now -- it should be relatively easily made flyable, and it really is a neat and unique warbird.

Another unusual Invader...

Looks like Hamilton AFB on the last picture with the A-26K?

Absolutely correct -- took 9 whole minutes! I'm impressed that you recognized the venue, too...

Well, considering I leave 45 minutes south of there, I better. Don't recognize the other A-26 though..........
