A-26 / B-26 Invader (multiple)

A-26 Invader examples at the Evergreen Aviation Museum and at McChord AFB in Tacoma, Wash.– I took the McChord shots during air shows at the base in the summers of 2008 and 2010 of what appears to be the same airframe with an updated paint job. The Pima Air Museum has an A-26 displayed in their WWII hangar and a post-war B-26K as part of the outdoor collection. Other Invaders were photographed at Palm Springs.
