| Gordon Dewey Billings, MT | We have based here, to our knowledge, the only flying status, civilian owned K-model here. I have full access for photos and data requested.
This aircraft is for sale, privately owned. This aircraft currently has the correst motors and the cropped props. It had seen duty in Korea, and has patched bullet holes within the fuselage. Icredible aircraft, and I've personally seen it fly here locally. 06/23/2007 @ 10:48 [ref: 16917] |
| Joe Mejerle Dallas, TX | I was a crew chief on the B-26 with the 5th Air Force in Japan. This was just before the Korean conflict and we would fly the 38th parallel checking shipping. Prior to the B-26 I was crew on a C-46 we flew out of Kenoya, Japan. The B-26 was a good plane. Any one else with the 5th? 05/27/2007 @ 10:27 [ref: 16623] |
