beautiful!
as a teacher I worked many summers here in MT on fire crews & loved watching the many Cold War birds now fire fighters
something poetic in that, I'm an old paratrooper kinda bird
saw a few of these A-26s early on, & a ton of P2V Neptunes, some using their jets, some C-119s
in HS in 1974 before I was on crews, saw a Ford Tri-Motor out of Missoula, they cut down to one motor for an easier jump
There are a ton of old planes used for fire fighting in Greybull WY, worth a visit
alas they breakup sometimes doing these new battles
nowadays they use huge old airliners, saw a Lockheed TriStar, & 747s
have got the slurry on me many times! "up close & personal"
thanks for the memories
STILL trying to find a military 1/144 A-26 that doesn't cost $100
gotta throw this in ! https://www.museumofflight.us/aircraftgalleries.html
