Subject: Old Planes...Where Are They Now

The B-26 Martin Marauder is a case in point. Every one that has ever been
rebuilt to date has crashed killing all aboard.incliding the one that the
CAF
rebuilt and flew. The pilot had heavy hours in Marauders. But not recently
and
for all prectical purposes was unqualifed because he wans't current.
If I had a chance to fly in a Marauder today, would I? Not a chance in
hell.
Been there. Done that. And 1100 hours in that beast is more than enough.

Art, you may wish to visit Kermit Weeks at Polk City Florida. He flies a
B-26 every now and then
though I don't know how recently.

I had the pleasure of seeing him fly it at the Sun n' Fun in Lakeland, Fl. a
number of years ago.
I hadn't seen a B-26 since I used to go down to Ballast Point on Tampa Bay
to watch for the
"1 a day's in Tampa Bay" in the 40's. I may add that he flies all of the
flyable aircraft in his GREAT
facility, which includes most of them. It's well worth a visit! He is
obviously qualified!!!!!!!!!
