Martin Mars on Lake Elsinore
Has anyone posted a picture of the Martin Mars on Lake Elsinore? If so
could you repost as I missed it. I live not far from the lake and heard about the planes landing there. We are still cleaning ash off our house! Bill |

Except that it apparently wasn't able to fly out of ground effect. So, it
might not be able to take off, but could taxi to a fire, if it was on water. Ron "Andrew Chaplin" wrote in message ... "Dave Kearton" wrote in message ...
