Hi John,
No, the a/c in question is 44-34172 N4806E which Rod and Rex Cadman imported in 1987. This is a stock airplane, never having been modified by Rock Island (I think it was them!)and was stored for quite some time. I have also heard that it is currently in Norfolk. One of the Norwegian A-26 pilots saw it shortly after arrival in 87, and later said that it needed a ton of work, and wouldn't fly for many years. Whatever the reason, he was right in his conclusion! Hope to see it fly one day though. Remember the SHF 26 used to do barrel rolls and cuban eights some years back, very impressive a/c indeed!
