The aircraft listed below has received extensive work over
the past 7 years and is now available for sale.
This Douglas A-26 Invader is located at the airport in Santa
Rosa, California (STS). It is the product of a nine-year restoration by the owner, Jack Bazler. Jack has previously restored
several BT-13 aircraft, then a Beech Twin Bonanza which he still owns and flies. The attention to detail and general cleanliness
of the restoration will be evident in the photos.
This plane has flown and will again soon after the propellers come
back from the shop and are put back on. Note the dual controls in the photos of the cockpit.
WWW.a-26.com, is where you can find info on my plane. Darcy Hankins and I did a thorough once over of N74874, complete with engines
that were disassembled, inspected, updated, tested, and flown for over 20hours.. This plane is advertised in Trade A
Plane for sale at $400,000. A fine flyer that can be operated with confidence.
He and I worked on it
for 7 years off and on and now my journey will turn in other directions. He is the finest, efficient and knowledgable
and one fine fellow to work with.
Thank you for your interest
in this wonderful aircraft and educating those who are interested.
