CAF A-26 Invader Ready To Return To Flight Next Month

Aircraft Has Been Under Restoration For About 21 Years

The CAF’s A-26 Invader, which has gone by many names, most recently Lil Twister, is set to return to the skies on November 1.

This aircraft has been in restoration for about 21 years. Volunteers are very excited to finally see the warbird in the air but will err on the side of caution and safety to ensure the airplane, the flight crew, and the weather are all ready to go before take-off.

A-26 Invaders didn’t enter use until later in World War II but have the unique prestige of serving in three combat wars, as they saw action in World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The aircraft is also well known for its speed and use in night missions. The CAF has three A-26s in the fleet.

The Sierra Hotel Sponsor Group volunteers are hopeful to get the aircraft in the air on Sunday, November 1, 2020, weather permitting. The group plans to post photos and videos on their Facebook page.

The Sierra Hotel A-26 Sponsor Group calls themselves, "a small group volunteers dedicated to the restoration of a A-26 Invader."
