Some A-26s were rebuilt by ON-Mark Engineering during the Vietnam war into 
the "K" model with a steel ring to carry through the main spars instead of 
the straight through the bomb bay on the main spar. This mod allowed bigger 
bomb loads and the ability to move from the cockpit to the rearend. Some of 
them gained DC-6 wheels and brakes which were much better along with tip 
tanks and CB-16 engines. All of this improved the performance. Colorado Gas 
Company used to have a 26K based at BJC near me for a company hauler. Painted 
in jungle green camoflauge. I haven't seen it for some time but it may just 
ne hangared a lot.
