| Mark Fidler Ocala, FL | The XA-26F was located at George T. Baker aviation school in Miami,Florida and was scrapped around 1969 or 1970.
The students at the school broke it apart. 01/17/2005 @ 13:41 [ref: 9161] |
| Ernst M. \"Bob\" Rohde Stockton, CA | During the years 1950 and 1951 I flew the XB-26F #44-34586 for Shell Oil Co. on a bailment contract for the USAF doing fuel research.
It was returned to the USAF in December of 1951 and I was wondering whether it is still exists. The aircraft set a speed record over a 1000 KM course carrying a 1000KG load. I have several in flight photos that I can send you if you're interested. Bob Rohde 09/25/2000 @ 11:32 [ref: 795] |
