Re: NNG- Martin Mars nears Lake Winnebago, WI for AirVenture

They have been taken out of service recently by somebody or some entity of Canadian gov't.

It has been hinted at that the one now @ Oshkosh is also there to be shopped around for a possible buyer.

Our local paper this morning had a nice article on it and I'm going to try to get over to the seaplane base on Thursday to see and photograph the machine.

Wish my dad was still around, he had several yrs. during WW11 flying the Clippers and also Navy PB2Y-3s and 5s over the Pacific. You were doing well if you could average 110 mph.

Went to nearby Sheboygan Airport yesterday before noon and was able to shoot 5 T-28s from a second story deck. Before I left, 3 more of the type landed and parked.
