You can also view the Collings Foundation's A-26 restoration in Uvalde, Texas. I can not remember the name of the little museum at the moment that she is housed in but as far as I know it is the only museum on the field. The serial number and N number slips my mind at the moment but she is NOT 44-35696. This is a new airframe that was acquired from War Eagles Air Museum that was nothing but a shell with a drug running background, therefore according to the FAA, she has no serial number. '696's airframe was severly torqued after the crash and many components are coming off of her but it is not the same airframe and serial number as before. A real shame because 696 has documented Korean combat history. When finished this airplane will be in '696s colors.
