The Vintage Flying Museum will start its new Warbird 101 Aircraft Maintenance Course series with the Douglas A-26/B-26K Invader Maintenance Systems Familiarization Course February 8-9.
This course is intended to provide maintenance technicians, aircrew, volunteers and enthusiasts with an in-depth description of each of the major systems of a World War II Douglas A-26B/C Invader attack aircraft; included are the differences of the Vietnam War vintage B-26K Counter Invader variant.
The course length is two days, six hours per day. The course is taught using classroom presentations, aircraft manuals, as well as hands-on training (pending aircraft availability). Course fee is $100.00/person, all proceeds will be split evenly between the Vintage Flying Museum, Greatest Generation B-26K “Special Kay” and the Commemorative Air Force Invader Squadron which operates A-26B “Night Mission”. Both aircraft are based at the museum and students will have an opportunity for an up-close look at both aircraft.
