| Dave Baltimore, MD | Not sure if anybody is aware, but the prototype to this aircraft exists. It is a 1/4 scale, manned, flying Mariner. It hangs in the main hall of the Museum of Industry in downtown Baltimore. From the ground it looks like it is still in very good conditon. 02/05/2005 @ 01:33 [ref: 9365] |
