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. :roll:

Could someone please come by my desk and wake me up! :wink:

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.
