I was watching 'Always' on dvd which was made in 1989 and I wonder whether the A-26 and Catalina were still flying in that role or if they've been parked or restored ?

Anyone know ?

I guess all the air tankers for fire fighting would be mainly turbine powered 20 years later

The Cat is still around somewhere, the other A-26 was offered for sale last year and the C-119 is the one that I believe flew to Hagerstown, MD and is now part of the Museum there.
Someone else must have more specific info.
