Someone asked me the other day and I had no answer, but can you fly over the camps at Auschwitz? I know a fly-over of Israeli F-15s was frowned upon by the museum there.
Imagine this A-26 going overhead, once it gets to Poland.

They stopped in Tullahoma, Tenn. for a fuel stop. Shortly after departure the right engine failed and they made an emergency landing in McMinnville, Tn. ( KRNC) . The right engine has to be replaced. I 5hink they had a spare but it was the wrong dash number of the R-2800. They found the correct dash number but are having it gone through. Meanwhile the props were sent out and some of the accessories. It is hangared at this time .

Well, at least it is under roof for now. Hopefully they will get it sorted soon and that the ferry flight can continue. We do need a few Invaders flying in Europe.
