Throwback to last year’s High Sky Wing AIRSHO where Night Mission got to show off for the first time after her return to flight restoration. While we are sad to miss this year’s show, the squadron continues to work hard to bring “BUBA” back to life once again. Please donate today at invadersquadron.org to help us fund an engine overhaul for BUBA!

HELP NEEDED!

BUBA’s engine needs to be sent off to overhaul. The costs associated with a radial engine overhaul are quite large for a small squadron of volunteers like us, and every donation helps us move forward with plans to get BUBA back in the air. Our crew continues to work tirelessly behind the scenes. Please donate today to help us get back on track. Invadersquadron.org

‼️Important News‼️

While finishing up Night Mission’s 100 hour inspection, we found an issue with the number 2 engine. After numerous attempts to solve the issue, it was deemed that a new engine is needed for Night Mission. It is a huge disappointment for our team to be in this situation again after a fantastic return to flight 2025 season. We hope to be back in the sky for the second part of the 2026 season, but we need your help. The maintenance required to secure a new overhauled engine is very costly. Please consider donating to help us bring Night Missions back to action so we can continue sharing the story of the three war veteran Douglas A-26 Invader.
