Hmmmm...... An A-26.... I'd like that. Kind of sporty... BUT a C-130 I could bring the car along to just about any airshow fly in early, and tour around the days before the show.
Could someone please come by my desk and wake me up!

Mike et al--
This will be one of the unfortunate byproducts of the mass grounding. The A-26 will be one of the former Conair birds, which I understand H&P did not actually operate as a tanker but rather for its nostalgic interest. In the pix I've seen of it it still wore the orange and white Conair livery.
I think RCAFM Trenton should try to snag a C-119 about now...

Not a bad idea Steve. I emailed the add to Robert Holgren (PNS President) so he can forward it to his contacts at the Canada Aviation Museum and the RCAF Memorial Museum. I doubt anything will come of it as money is always tight, but what the heck.
