If I am reading Scott's posting correctly, the magazine article is about an A-26 in Mexico while the link to the warbird registry, shows an A-26 in Santa Teresa, New Mexico

I doubt that it could be the same aircraft, because when I saw it last in 2006 in Santa Teresa, NM, it looked as if it would not be immediately flyable / ferryable:

Thats the one! Looks like a type-O in Air Classics. The windows for that conversion came from a DC-6 I'm told. I think the old Corp. birds are just cool.
