Photo Comment

This A-26 was the first aircraft to be dedicated in the Air Park, on 4 July 1970. It was originally mounted on a pylon, as seen in the photo. It was later repainted and repositioned onto its landing gear. It saw combat in Vietnam with the 56th Special Operations Wing, based at Nakon Phanom Royal Thai Air Base, flying its last combat mission on 9 November 1969.
