A-26K PHOTOS NEEDED

Fri Feb 05, 2010 9:09 am

All the recent events on the A-26K front and A-26's in general motivated me to check my A-26K photo collection. I am need of 10 A-26K airframes to complete my collection. If anyone has and can e mail me or post a photo or two of the following A-26K serial numbers it would be greatly apprecaited. BTW I am a ex Air Commando and spent 13 years of my 21 in Special Operations. A-26K serial numbers that I need photos of are: 64-17641, 17646, 17648, 17650, 17656, 17662, 17663, 17668, 17673, and 17677. Thanks in advance to one and all.

Just to be a little bit irritating, I don't think there ever was an "A-26K." Every reference I've seen shows the progression from B-26K to A-26A (in 1966), but perhaps there is some nitnoid thing I've missed.

I guess you have a photo of 671, since it's not on your list. In the Special Ops, did you have a direct affiliation with the Invader? Just curious.

John,

As the former owner of 64-17679, I have numerous pictures available, however this aircraft wasn't on your list. I can only assume that you already have this aircraft in your repritoir. The new owners have this aircraft based in Tx. have many pics on their progress of the restoration posted here in the WIX Hangar.
