Just discovered, using Joe Baugher's work, that AvPix post #127 is the same aircraft now in CAF painted as A-26C. Originally, is A-26B-35-DL s/n 41-39427 c/n 7140 mfg 1941 and in June 1960 was a corporate aircraft for the Texas Railway Supply company as N75Y when photoed by Landry in New Orleans.
 
Although not my favorite airplane, I have a fondness for the L-19 (O-1) because of many hours in the back seat of my friend's. Here a few.


TL-19D (TO-1D) s/n 55-4692


No civilian owner treats his Bird Dog this way.



L-19A-CE (O-1A) s/n 51-11928



L-19A (O-1A) s/n 53-8025 upon discharge photo by Campbell

And now in civvies photo by Campbell



This is Landry's L-19 which came back from French service in Algeria with a minor bullet wound. Because of his French ancestry, he kept and
restored the French markings. Riding in the back seat, one of my long time goals was satisfied. To fly into the airshow and not to have the long drive home in bumper to bumper
traffic. This aircraft manufactured in 1959. This was his second expensive toy.


This was his first, the sale of which bought the second.
