Personally i like the 26 better ,but  i think they both have a place in AH sometime in the future .  Speed wise from what ive read they are close , the widow has alittle more firepower due to its 20 mils . I know id fly both of em

I agree.  I'd like to see the long awaited (by me) return of the A-26 Invader.

Why does everyone want the Black Widow? :huh  

We don't have night time in the arena's and without that the aircraft is going to loose most of the advantage it had in combat.

i have to agree about the widow, i mean you could use it but its sole purpose was to operate at night and use it radar to attack bomber formations at night

Just look at the hurri mk2c usage numbers ;)

20mm cannon is enough to get an aircraft used.

i'd much rather have the invader but the widow might be fun.

A dedicated night fighters... That's about as likely to happen as we are to see the He219 Uhu, or the Bolton Paul Defiant. It's just not going to happen.

A-26 for ever

A-26, Pima Air Museum.   Not one of my better pictures I took that trip.  Later that night when I was downloading these pics they were all blurry, it seems the autofocus on the camera wasnt autofocusing very well.
