I've never seen colour video footage of the A-26 in Europe before but I stumbled onto this on YouTube.

 

 

It's really interesting to see as most of the A-26 stuff I see is from later operations.

Just love the Invader!

 

Most of the airplanes shown do feature four 2x50s gunpods and a strafer-nose (A-26B). Interesting to see gunpod-equipped aircraft (probably also A-26Bs) drop bombs (on cue?).

The A/B 26 Invader! An absolute favorite of mine. WW2, Korea, Viet Nam, Bay of Pigs Invasion and various other "small" wars. Used quite a bit in the civilian sector as a  V.I.P. transport and fire fighter. And yet, not one flight sim has ever done this airplane!

I'd love to see DCS do a study sim of this bird, but I know it's not happening. And besides, it'll take 10 years. What a fun airplane this would be in here!

Imagine that firepower with those gunpods. A26 Invader would be a great collector plane.

Oh I'd be overjoyed to be able to fly this aircraft sometime. Even just for the insane number of .50cals :)

I'd like to see it it as firefighter, and fight those BoX fires LoL. All that black smoke destroys the nice views on the landscapes .... I'll have to use less monitor cleaning wipes to boot.

 

And should be fun to pick up water from a lake skipping the bucket instead of bomb runs, maybe something like this:
