Engine: Comment: The E model superseded the 1-26D in 1971, being the last refinement in the 1-26 series with an all metal monocoque fuselage which appreciably increased the empty weight. Despite this, Dick Johnsonﾒs flight test show little difference between the earlier models and the E. The U.S. Air Force Academy operates 3 as the TG-3. ATC             Your Comments:
