Canadian remake of Catch-22 but with Invaders instead? LOL
This is an old video in the 80s or early 90's of a group of A-26 Invaders used as water bombers taking off from an airfield in Red Deer, Alberta. I live in Edmonton.
I saw an Canadian Aviation Magazine Article a few years back where a Pilot from Canada's Westjet Airlines restored two of them back to A-26B 8 gun M2 .50 Cal configuration. I have the issue in the basement but not sure if it is available online. If I do find it, I will post it here.

Yes, It is amazing they were used as late as 1969 in Vietnam as a special operations bomber on the Ho Chi Minh trail.

With a conversion to the A26 which was used in Vietnam. Notice the weapons added under the aircraft wings as well as the guns mounted in the nose.
