	During the 1960's Allied had a 3,000' dirt runway installed for takeoff use. The air base at Davis-Monthan would allow them to land there, but they required a hefty insurance premium to be able to use the runway for take-off, so Allied made their own.

	This photo shows the 3'000' dirt runway that ran east-west as it was in 1972. The runway sat just off the approach-end of Davis-Monthan's Runway 30. The runway fell into disuse and is now Drexel Road. <br>		This photo shows the 3'000' dirt runway that ran east-west as it was in 1972.

 I did manage to track down their former Chief Test Pilot, Captain Billy Walker and we exchanged emails on 10 Jul 2020. He explained that the company has been long-closed and the records lost. He doesn't specifically remember the plane I was asking about (647).

	Captain Walker is right about Denny Lynch's plane. It was serial number [[64-17679]] and is, in fact, "Special Kay", so its not the plane I'm looking for.

	~~Now, my~~ records do show that [[Hawkins-Powers]] ~~has~~ an A-26, but it was an older WWII version that they named "Lu Lu". When H&P went under in 2006 the plane was bought by the now-defunct [[Lauridsen Aviation Museum]] and she sits derelict at the Buckeye Municipal Airport on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona.

	''"I do know that, in fact, Gene “Red” Powers had a B-26K/A-26A. It was in military configuration with hard points although absent the guns. He offered it to me for a flight.

	I have no reason to doubt Captain Walker about H&P having an A-26A, but I personally haven't seen any records or photos of that. At this time I can't confirm ~~or deny this statement.
