Parked outside the Champaign Museum's hangar during MERFI, still in her previous outfit as an air tanker. Though on the FAA registry as N381EC, she doesn't wear it. Ex 44-35948, but was never delivered to the USAAF, instead went directly to the RFC and storage at Kingman AFB, AZ. Had some On Mark modifications fitted during her long and varied career, but these were apparently removed during the tanker conversion.

This Douglas A-26, C-GHLX, was imported from the US in 1975 and became by Conair Aviation's air tanker No. 32. The aircraft still wears its former US colour scheme, with the US history documented on this site by other photographers. On the far left of the photo is a gunbutt from there wartime RCAF Abbotsford (No. 5 OTU) base and on the right are the fuel pumps and fire retardant tanks of the old BC Forest Service air tanker base. This aircraft was later repainted in Conair's new red and white colours. It was de-registered by Conair in Dec 1985 and registered to Air Spray 1967 Ltd. in July 1987

WWII veteran 44-35948 passed on to the Reconstruction Finance Corp, Oct, 26, 1945. Used extensively post war in the USA by several oil companies, Motorola and Grumman Ecosystems until 1974. Conair bought and converted it to an air tanker in 1975. Photographed being prepared for another fire season, tanker 32 would go to Airspray in 1987 as Conair retired the A-26s. Airspray later retired their A-26s also and this Invader went to the Champaign Air Museum (N381EC) in 2009.
