Post subject: | A-26 Restoration Project |
Would anyone be interested in following our slow and painfull restoration of an A-26. Our bird had been converted to a Exec Transport, so we are not trying a full restoration, but just getting back into the air again after many years in the barn from major repair needs. Jet Mech, in OKC |

We'd all love to see the project unfold, especially with photos of all the hard work you folks have already put into it. Kevin, it was built in TULSA Kurt, I promise we are still going to come down to help. Scott |

Woo-hoo!!! What's the s/n? I'll start keeping an eye out for an original factory photo of the bird. Is this the Guthrie A-26, or another one? kevin |

Isn't this the A-26 that use to fly with the long recon nose? I believe it was called "Daisy Mae." |

Based on what I've got, that should be right around #944 at Douglas-Tulsa, which would have been painted in huge numbers on the tail at the factory. I'll see if I can't find a photo of your bird. kevin |

You guys are just faster than I am. I will start getting some of my old photos up on the page, and get some new ones. The poor old bird is currently in 3 1/2 hangers being worked in stages while management looks for a place to assemble. We had a broken main spar to replace in one wing, and most of thats is behind us. I am working on the cockpit and cables as well as helping on the engine tubs. I will have to look up what it takes to post photos again. Kurt[/img] |

I've always wondered about the process to fix broken spars... |
