Douglas A-26C Invader arrives at Duxford, Exclusive: I interview the Invader crew! 27th June 2024.

[@johndavey72]

It's hard to believe this stunning aircraft is 80 years old. Congratulations to all who made this historic flight possible.

[@jjojo2004]

Whats amazing to me is that the A-26 served into the late 60’s with the USAF in Vietnam, along with the C-47! Absolutely astounding! 😎😎😎

Good to see you at Duxford this week. Most welcome visitor.

[@brianwillson9567]

'Just sharing the plane with everyone'. Thank you so much guys.

[@lonzo61]

One of the best looking twin prop aircraft ever produced--military or civilian.

[@fleuger99]

The B26 and Mosquito are my two fav twins.

[@lonzo61]

@@fleuger99 The Mossie looks good and o sounds great. I have a slight preference to the Merlins over radials.

[@fleuger99]

@@lonzo61 I totally agree. I bought a DVD called Reunion of Giants when the Canadian Lancaster flew to England and performed several flights with the RAF Lancaster. Those two bombers flying together with 8 Merlins is absolute music. :)

Beautiful landing. What a well presented aircraft, for people to enjoy.

[@mickboakes7023]

At 80 it looks in a lot better condition that I am at 80. Great to see her. Thanks everybody

[@RankupAviation]

Wow, such a beautiful sound from such an old plane

[@ratride1]

If you’re stopping anywhere in northeastern Ohio I’d like to come by and see you. Safe travels!

[@woolmer608]

Such a beautiful looking aircraft.

[@johnpeschke7723]

Chevrolet built 2100hp R-2800-83 engines? great big air cooled radial engines...wow, what a sound.

[@88SC]

Chevrolet built several models of the R-2800 under contract, including some of the newer C-Series models. Later they built R-3350s for Wright; the engines installed on Skyraiders was one example.

[@zachhering5809]

Ford built more R-2800s than Chevy and P&W combined.

[@88SC]

@@zachhering5809 I checked; you can throw Nash’s 18,000 in there and Ford probably still comes out on top.

[@aviationmodellinguk1832]

Was very good to see you again. It’s been a while. Hopefully see you at RIAT if not before at Coningsby or another fence line.

National Guard Bureau used one in the 1970s.

[@mahmoodsoleja9068]

Fantastic ! 🌟✈️

[@lindagieseler9566]

Beautiful plane. What/where is Wic?

[@boatrat]

"Wick", I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Airport at a little town on the East side of the North end of Scotland. Which doesn't sound like quite the right direction... But if you look at the map, that's basically the closest stop for the over-water flight to/from Iceland.

[@deruberschwarze3943]

Designed by the same man who designed the Aero Commander twin and Aerostar.

[@dks13827]

Ted Smith?

[@deruberschwarze3943]

@@dks13827 You are correct, sir!

[@tomasinacovell4293]

Same engines as the Convair CV240.

I see what you mean. "...been floating around the country of Europe...."

[@BIBIWCICC]

Switched of when I saw the American flag!

[@misterx8592]

Buh bye….

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Erm…an American aircraft and an American crew, with an American flag, and you take offence?! Your comment is idiotic. If you’re offended, keep it to yourself, because nobody else needs to know, or even cares.
