- Registered as N114RG.

Sale Reported, 1972.

It is thought that N114RG was eventually canabalized to keep R.G. Le Tourneau's last A-26, N115RG flying.
RG originally purchased some 29 of these aircraft. He had 4 or 5 flying between his factories on a regular schedule for many years. He had a side business of converting and selling the rest. The last of his 26s was sold to a guy about in 1965 who then lost it to the Brazilian government for smuggling. The airplane was in a museum in Sao Paulo when last heard of. RG sold his last 26 to purchaase one of the first Lear 23s. Bill Lear delivered it personally!"

The Fifteen shots below of 126HK were kindly donated by Eric Van Gilder of http://www.vg-photo.com/airshow/qb36/a26.html..... Thanks Eric your photography is outstanding. I think this particular aircraft must be one of the most outstanding of its kind in the world.
