The A26 was not worn out they put turbo-prop engines on it to increase the speed of it. Do not lie the reason for this mess is the fighter mafia alone with there billion dollar toys that they now refuse to fly......

The 26 is still flying in 8 countries . I know cause I was a 26 weapons mech an worked on Brazilian 26s at Opa Locka Airport in Miami.....Great planes like the 135 are still flying with new engines while our great fighters sit on the ground over engineering failures...The USAF Fighter Types refused to buy the F5 Tiger 2 an 6 years later had to buy them as agressor planes cause our F4s were getting shot out of the air over Nam....They buy the wrong a/c the 747 is as old as the c5 yet it flys triple the hours of the 5 an turn around as much as 4 times every 48 hours. It takes 72 hours to turn a 5 around....

And to you, you would be well advised to take much greater care whom you accuse of lying. If I were where you are there would be consequences.

It is a comfort to know there are geniuses like you around working for Brazil and other countries.

You are insignificant and will always be so.
