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.
